Something Of A Dreamer

----------------------------------------------

[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.]

[Thanks to Pete Smith (PWSmith853@aol.com) for the capo information and

the inspiration to write this one down.]

A D/F# E* E*

She used to watch him from afar

She used to dream about him, and she'd wish upon a star that

A D/F# E* E*

One day he'd want her for his own

Throw caution to the wind, and with a grin he'd take her home

She's something of a dreamer, something of a 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 something of a dreamer, something of a fool

D E F#m E - A

Something of a heartbreak when she gives her heart to you

Well she should have known by now, but that's the foolish part of her

D E F#m E - A

She should have seen somehow, but a dreamer's never cured

D E A E - A

When heartbreak fast approaches, when a love ain't truly love

D E F#m E - A

He promised wine and roses, and she thought that was enough

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
