RHYTHM OF THE BLUES (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------
[This song is actually in F.  These chords with the lyrics are the chords
 that Mary-Chapin Carpenter plays; she has a capo on the 3rd fret and plays
 it in D.  John Jennings plays it in C with a capo at the fifth fret.]

TABLATURE
---------
[Note that the tab parts are written as if there is a capo at the fifth
 fret, since this is how John Jennings plays the song.  I'm not sure that
 these are the _exact_ fingerings that Jennings uses, but they work.]


INTRO:

[This is played twice, more or less.  The notes in parentheses are probably
 played by the other guitar.  The "strum" markers note places where there's
 a noticable strum, but I don't know on which notes.]

GUITAR SOLO:

[If you're using a pick, play the double-stops with a slow sweep for that
 arpeggio effect.  Doesn't work as well with bare fingers.]
[A variation: at the end of the second C measure, instead of 3-2-0, play
 it like the end of the second G measure (but on the D & G strings).]
