QUITTIN' TIME
(by Robb Royer & Roger Linn;
performed by Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
-----------------------------------
Okay, a couple notes about this song.  First of all, the electric guitar
plays this song in D, and Mary-Chapin plays the acoustic guitar in C, capoed
up two frets (as I've written it here).
Don't worry too much about the bass notes in the chorus; they were just
so obvious I had to put them in.
The little riff at the end of the C Fmaj7 G G lines (after "tell me what
we're gonna do") is just Gsus4-Gsus4-G, Gsus4-Gsus4-G.  Finger G as 320003,
and use your index finger to do the first fret on the B string.  (Of course,
it's Asus4-Asus4-A if you play it in D.)
Each chord is half a measure.  Capo 2.

One more thing: in her 1994 Acoustic Tour, MCC performed a slowed-down
version of this song.  The chords were pretty much the same, but it was
finger-picked instead of strummed, and there was an E or E7 chord between
the G and Am, right before "But you pretend..."  Try it.

Hey baby, I'm running out of things to say	      (C  C FM7 FM7 G  G  G  G)
Please don't hate me, this feeling just won't go away (C  C FM7 FM7 G  G  G  G)
Now we're spending all our time caught in a fantasy   (C  C  F   F  G  G  G  G)
Just trying to keep in mind the way it used to be     (C  C  F   F  G  G  G  G)

But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am  G  C  C  F  C  G  G)
And though we should be at an end	 	      (Am  G  C  F)
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin' time	      (Am  F  G  C)

But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am  G  C  C  F  C  G  G)
And though we should be at an end		      (Am  G  C  F)
It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin'...	      (Am  F  G)
(So hard admittin' when it's quittin'...)	      (Am  F  G)
So hard admittin' when it's quittin' time	      (Am  F  G  C)
