Why Walk When You Can Fly by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Why Walk When You Can Fly
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 7th fret
Key: G
[I''''ve no idea how Mary Chapin Carpenter plays this song. In concert, she
plays it with a capo on the 7th fret. Since the song is in B, that would mean she''''s playing in E, and the verse chords are B E A A. She''''s clearly
using a very strange tuning, because I can''''t for the life of me figure out how she''''s getting those chords out of the positions she uses. Any ideas?]
[I''''m going to write these chords down in the key of G, since I know that''''s
where John Jennings plays them, with a capo on the 4th fret.]
