PASSIONATE KISSES (Lucinda Williams) ------------------------------------ * These chords match Mary-Chapin Carpenter's cover version. * Lucinda Williams' recording of this song is in E, so you'd have to put a capo at the fourth fret to match the recording if you use these chords. * Mary-Chapin Carpenter's recording is in D, and I know she plays it in C with a capo at the second fret. * In the instrumental bits, I put bar lines (|) to separate measures; everywhere else in the song, one chord is one measure. * The rhythm guitar doesn't actually play all those chords in the intro, but it sounds neat. (It actually plays just C G Am F.) * Mix up some (9)'s with the C's and F's. C G/B Am7 F(9) [piano intro]

[repeat and fade] Someone met John Jenning's (MCC's guitarist) after a concert and asked him how he plays this song in concert; he wrote it down in standard musical notation, someone sent it to me, and I converted it to tablature. (But there's no guarantee that this is where John Jennings puts his fingers.) The ">" marks are accents. [Note that this is NOT the recorded version; this is how Jennings plays it on stage with a smaller band. The recorded version has more than one electric guitar.] D A Bm7 G E ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B 10----8-----7---|5-----7---------|3-----2---------|----3-----3---3-| G --7-----7-----7-|--7-----7---7---|--4-----4---4---|--0-----2-------| D ----7-----7-----|----7-----7---7-|----4-----4---4-|5-----4-----2---| A ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E +---+---+---+---|+---+---+---+---|+---+---+---+---|+---+---+---+---| > > > > > > > > > > > > Here it is in C (capo 2; I changed a couple notes to make it easier): C G Am7 F E 3-----1-----0---|----------------|----------------|----------------| B --1-----1-----1-|3-----5---------|1-----0---------|----1-----1-----| G ----0-----0-----|--5-----5---5---|--2-----2---2---|--0-----0-----0-| D ----------------|----5-----5---5-|----2-----2---2-|3-----2-----0---| A ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| E +---+---+---+---|+---+---+---+---|+---+---+---+---|+---+---+---+---| > > > > > > > > > > > > - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
