HOTTER THAN MOJAVE IN MY HEART (Iris DeMent)
--------------------------------------------
[On "Austin City Limits," she had a capo on the fourth fret.  The
recording sounds like it's on the third.]
[Play bass runs between D & G if you can, and between G & G between
sections (the bass goes G-D-E-F#-G).]
[Each chord is one fast measure.]

[mandolin solo]

Well baby, I could stay this way forever
Just passing time at ninety-nine degrees
'Cause loving you's my favorite kind of weather
Oh, forever let the flame burn down in me

And I'll not prepare my heart for the change of season
And I'll whip old Winter Wind there if she blows
Well god bless the day that you came along
And you tipped my applecart and you made me
Hotter than Mojave in my heart
