Walking Through Fire Mary Chapin Carpenter
<br/> WALKING THROUGH FIRE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)<br/> --------------------------------------------<br/> [This song is actually in the key of A, then it switches to B; I'm guessing<br/> that Mary Chapin plays it in G & A with a capo on the second fret.]<br/> [On a single guitar, you can do a pretty good rendition of the descending<br/> pattern in C(9)-D by playing C(9) as x30010 and then changing to x30000<br/> right before the D. For D(9) (in the latter part of the song), play it<br/> as xx0230, and then xx0220 right before the E.]<br/> [Each chord is half a measure.]<br/> <br/> G G C(9) D G G C(9) D G G C(9) D G G C(9) D<br/> [intro]<br/> <br/> G G C(9) D G G C(9) D<br/> When you set a match to your heart, fueling it with bitterness and doubt<br/> G G C(9) D G G C(9) D<br/> That's the place that once it starts, no amount of tears can put out<br/> Em7 Em7 D D C C D D<br/> I know you're scared, but no one's spared when you play with matches<br/> G G C(9) D<br/> You got me walking through fire<br/> G G C(9) D<br/> You got me walking through fire<br/> <br/> Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain<br/> But baby, I'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame<br/> Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark, consuming all it catches<br/> And you got me walking through fire<br/> You got me walking through fire to get to you<br/> Got me walking through fire (walking through fire)<br/> You got me walking through fire (walking through fire)<br/> <br/> F F G G Bb Bb C F<br/> You can see the toll it's taking, you can feel the faith it's shaking<br/> Cm7 Cm7 F F Bb Bb D D<br/> You can hear the heart it's breaking now<br/> <br/> Em7 Em7 D D C C D D Bb Bb C C F F Esus E<br/> [guitar solo]<br/> A A D(9) E A A D(9) E<br/> [instrumental lead-in to last verse; note key change]<br/> <br/> A A D(9) E A A D(9) E<br/> Baby, I've been burned by the fever, I've been scorched by desire<br/> A A D(9) E A A D(9) E<br/> But baby, I am not your deceiver or your eloquent liar<br/> F#m F#m E E D D Bm7 E<br/> Your jealous heart is tearing us apart, turning love to ashes<br/> A A D(9) E<br/> When you got me walking through fire<br/> You've got me walking through fire to get to you<br/> Got me walking through fire<br/> You've got me walking through fire<br/> You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)<br/> You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)<br/> G G D(9) E<br/> As the flames shoot higher<br/> A A D(9) E<br/> You got me walking through fire (through fire), walking<br/> A A D(9) E A A D(9) E A A D(9) E<br/> [instrumental]<br/> Gsus9 Gsus9 Gsus9 Gsus9<br/> [fade]<br/> <br/> <br/> - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com<br/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs">
