THE END OF MY PIRATE DAYS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------------
[I _think_ these are the chords Mary Chapin uses. She might use a
non-standard tuning, which would mean these are wrong. But I think
these sound pretty good. Feedback is appreciated.]
[Actually in G; capo 3.]

[intro]
Asus9 Asus9
The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door
There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for
Asus9 Asus9
And last time that it appeared he was lying next to me
Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy
Asus9 -
And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
Asus9
And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams
Asus9 Asus9
We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I
Asus9 Asus9
Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days
Asus9 - Asus9
[instrumental]
Asus9 Asus9
This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back
Asus9 -
They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow
Asus9 Asus9
And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath
- /D#
I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left
Asus9 -
And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
Asus9
And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams
Asus9 Asus9
And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Asus9 Asus9
Since I came to the end of my pirate days
Asus9 Asus9
And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Asus9 Asus9
So I came to the end of my pirate days
