CARPENTER MARY CHAPIN - "girls with guitars" Tablature

GIRLS WITH GUITARS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------------
[These chords are from Wynonna Judd's recorded version; the version that
Mary Chapin Carpenter does in concert is almost identical, except MCC
plays these chords with a capo on the third fret, raising it to C.]
[Each chord represents two beats, or half of a measure.]
[Play most of the chords with a typical rock 'n' roll feel, with sixths
on the offbeats (see tab at end of file). Play sevenths if you want.]

GUITAR BREAK #3 ("Sunshine of Your Love"):
[There are about a million different positions to play this in,
since it's probably the most well-known riff in rock music. I've
given a couple possibilities, but play it however you want:]
