GIRLS WITH GUITARS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------------
[These chords are from Wynonna Judd's recorded version; the version that
 Mary Chapin Carpenter does in concert is almost identical, except MCC
 plays these chords with a capo on the third fret, raising it to C.]
[Each chord represents two beats, or half of a measure.]
[Play most of the chords with a typical rock 'n' roll feel, with sixths
 on the offbeats (see tab at end of file).  Play sevenths if you want.]
