SOMETHING OF A DREAMER (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
[Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this in A with a capo on the 2nd fret;
John Jennings' lead part is in G with a capo on the 4th fret. The
chords written here are MCC's.]
[It's possible that MCC's guitar is in a weird tuning, but I can't tell
for sure.]
[The E chords alternate between Esus4 and E.]
[Thanks to Pete Smith (PWSmith853@aol.com) for the capo information and
the inspiration to write this one down.]

She used to watch him from afar

One day he'd want her for his own
[A] Throw caution [D/F#]to the wind, and [E]with a grin he'd [A]take her home
She's[D] something of a [E]dreamer,[A] something of a [D]fool
D E F#m E [note: no A chord here]
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
And she used to hear his voice at night
A sweet whisper from the shadows, dancing with the back porch light
And she used to feel him in the wind
His warm breath upon her neck, and goosebumps up and down her skin
She's[D] something of a [E]dreamer,[A] something of a [D]fool

[D] Well she should have [E]known by now,[A] but that's the foolish [E]part[-] of [A]her
[D] She should have s[E]een somehow,[F#m] but a dreamer's [E]nev[-]er [A]cured
[D] When heartbreak [E]fast approaches,[A] when a love ain't [E]tru[-]ly [A]love
[D] He promised w[E]ine and roses,[F#m] and she thought that [E]wa[-]s e[A]nough
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
She's something of a dreamer, something of a fool
Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you
