WHEN SHE'S GONE (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
---------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5.]
[The lines that are just FF and C majorC actually have some F(9)'s and C(9)'s in
them; that's all spelled out at the end.]

[Instrumental; repeat and fade]
Here's the strumming pattern for most of the song. The funny-looking
lines are musical notes. The numbers above the notes are just the relative
durations, for the benefit of the notationally impaired.
The first chord of each line is actually just a single note, or perhaps
just the two or three lowest strings. The last C(9) in the first two lines
is only played sometimes; other times, it's just an eighth note at the end
of the measure, and other times there's _no_ chord after the C*.
F: x33211 or 133211 (fret the E MajorE string with your thumb)
F(9): x33011 or 133011 (fret the E MajorE string with your thumb)
C(9): 330010
C*: hammer-on (quickly) from 330010 to 332010
C: 332010
G: 320003
Am: x02210

For the other parts (e.g., the A minorAm FF G+G C majorC part), it's never very complex;
mostly just like this:
