CARPENTER MARY CHAPIN - "the end of my pirate days" Tablature

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.]

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

C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#
And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
C#m7 Asus9 E B
And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams

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

C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D# C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E
[instrumental]

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

C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#
And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
C#m7 Asus9 E B
And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams

E E Asus9 Asus9
And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
Since I came to the end of my pirate days
E E Asus9 Asus9
And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
So I came to the end of my pirate days

E E Asus9 Asus9 Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
[instrumental; repeat and fade]
