THE END OF MY PIRATE DAYS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------------
[I _think_ these are the chords Mary Chapin uses.  She might use a
 non-standard tuning, which would mean these are wrong.  But I think
 these sound pretty good.  Feedback is appreciated.]
[Actually in G; capo 3.]
[E=022100; Asus9=x02200; Bsus=x24400; C#m7=x46600.]

  The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door
Bsus (x24452@1)             Bsus (x24452@1)              E (022100@1)                   E (022100@1) There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for
E (022100@1)                   E (022100@1)       Asus9      Asus9
  And last time that it appeared he was lying next to me
Bsus (x24452@1)         Bsus (x24452@1)           E (022100@1)               E (022100@1) Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy

  We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I
Bsus (x24452@1)                Bsus (x24452@1)                   Asus9              Asus9
  Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days

E (022100@1)              E (022100@1)     Asus9           Asus9
  This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back
Bsus (x24452@1)           Bsus (x24452@1)     C#m7 (x4242x@1)          Asus9 - Bsus (x24452@1) They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow
E (022100@1)               E (022100@1)         Asus9         Asus9
  And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath
Bsus (x24452@1)           Bsus (x24452@1)       E (022100@1)             E (022100@1)  -   E/D# (021100@1) I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left

  And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Bsus (x24452@1)     Bsus (x24452@1)        Asus9           Asus9
  Since I came to the end of my pirate days

  And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Bsus (x24452@1)  Bsus (x24452@1)        Asus9             Asus9
  So I came to the end of my pirate days
