Walking Through Fire

WALKING THROUGH FID  (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
E|--------------------------------

E|------------| 

[This song is actually in the key of
 A, then it switches to B; I'm 
guessing
 that Mary Chapin plays it in G & A 
with a capo on the second fret.]
[On a single guitar, you can do a 
pretty good rendition of the 
descending
 pattern in C(9)-D by playing C(9) 
as x30010 and then changing to 
x30000
 right before the D.  For D(9) (in 
the latter part of the song), play 
it
 as xx0230, and then xx0220 right 
before the E.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]

   When you set a match to your

heart, fueling it with bitterness

and doubt
G  G                     C(9)    
   That's the place that once it

starts, no amount of tears can put 
   D
out

Maybe you've been burned by lovers, 
maybe you've been scarred by the 
pain
But baby, I'm not like the others, 
drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark, crackling in 
the dark, consuming all it catches
And you got me walking through fire
You got me walking through fire to 
get to you
Got me walking through fire (walking
 through fire)
You got me walking through fire 
(walking through fire)
