Capo: 2

SOMETHING OF A DREAMER (Mary Chapin Carpenter) ---------------------------------------------- [Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this in A with a capo on the 2nd fret; John Jennings' lead part is in G with a capo on the 4th fret. The chords written here are MCC's.] [It's possible that MCC's guitar is in a weird tuning, but I can't tell for sure.] [The E* chords alternate between Esus4 and E.] [Thanks to Pete Smith (PWSmith853@aol.com) for the capo information and the inspiration to write this one down.]

And she used to hear his voice at night A sweet whisper from the shadows, dancing with the back porch light And she used to feel him in the wind His warm breath upon her neck, and goosebumps up and down her skin
