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

If .. You .. And .. She .. She .. The .. When .. She .. She .. The .. When .. F C F C F C G C [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 string with your thumb) F(9): x33011 or 133011 (fret the E string with your thumb) C(9): 330010 C*: hammer-on (quickly) from 330010 to 332010 C: 332010 G: 320003 Am: x02210 2 1 1 1 1 2 3 3 2 | +--+--+--+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | / / / / / / / . / . / F F F F F(9) F(9) C(9) C* C(9) 2 1 1 1 1 2 3 3 2 | +--+--+--+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | / / / / / / / . / . / F F F F F(9) F(9) C(9) C* C(9) 2 1 1 1 1 2 3 3 2 | +--+--+--+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | / / / / / / / . / . / F F F F F(9) F(9) C(9) C* C(9) 2 1 1 2 2 3 2 1 1 1 | +--+ | | | | +--+--+ | | | | | | | | | | / / / / / / . / / / / G G G G G C C C C C For the other parts (e.g., the Am F G C part), it's never very complex; mostly just like this: 2 1 1 2 1 1 | +--+ | +--+ | | | | | | / / / / / / - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
