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.]
