Here's a Patty Larkin tune off the "Angels Running" album which is easy to learn and hauntingly beautiful, I think. Mary Chapin Carpenter sings a nice harmony on the chorus. The Story also sing background vocals on several songs. It's a gem of an album. Can someone correctly rename the F* chord below? I've indicated the chords. A listen to the song should convey the simple picking pattern.

I told him that my dog wouldn't run
I told him that I loved someone
Yeah, that's my old car out there
In the parking lot
I saw him when he first walked in
I thought it was a vision of him
He was looking like where he had been
Looking kind of fragile
Refrain:
He said I read the Bible every day
Tryin' to keep the demons at bay
Thank God when the sun goes down
I don't blow away
My friend said, was he always like that I said yeah, but he was never this bad I remember us playing for nickels and dimes Out on the corner
I asked him to marry me once He told me he couldn't because This would be all that there was
(Refrain)
He was laughing but I didn't get the joke He was dying to light up a smoke And I wanted to cry
In the florescent light of the restaurant I smiled and I got up to go I was hoping for a goodbye to hold
But it was kind of like touching a ghost So I ran when I walked out
(Refrain)
I got in my car and I drove Over the bridge to the coast Wondering where does old love go
