Why Walk When You Can Fly Mary Chapin Carpenter
WHY WALK WHEN YOU CAN FLY (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------------
[I've no idea how Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this song. In concert, it
looked like she was playing with a capo on the 7th fret. Since the song
is in B, that would mean she was playing the chords in E. The only way I
can picture that is if she was using chords like x46600 for C#m, a la "The
End of My Pirate Days." I do know for sure that she wasn't using nice,
normal chords. Maybe her capo was at 6 or 9, or maybe she had her guitar
tuned funny. If anyone finds out, please let me know.]
[I'm going to write these chords down in the key of G, since I know that's
where John Jennings played them, with a capo on the 4th fret.]

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby
n.c.
In this world there's a whole lot of pain
n.c.
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble
n.c.
But a whole lot of ground to gain
n.c.
Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by
n.c.
It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly
