Biography:
Mary Chapin Carpenter (born February 21, 1958 in Princeton, New Jersey) is a highly successful country music singer-songwriter and guitarist. According to Songfacts, Carpenter had a fairly privileged upper middle class upbringing. Her father was at least partly responsible for her embarking on a musical career. The song "House of Cards" was inspired by the divorce of her parents when she was sixteen.
One of her most widely known singles is "Passionate Kisses" (written by fellow singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams)

THE END OF MY PIRATE DAYS (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------------
[I _think_ these are the chords Mary Chapin uses. She might use a
non-standard tuning, which would mean these are wrong. But I think
these sound pretty good. Feedback is appreciated.]
[Actually in G; capo 3.]

[intro]
E E Asus9 Asus9
The night is soft and silent, new moon at my door
Bsus Bsus E E
There's nothing near as quiet as the light I'm looking for
E E Asus9 Asus9
And last time that it appeared he was lying next to me
Bsus Bsus E E
Last time I felt this near to whispered ecstacy
C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#
And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
C#m7 Asus9 E B
And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams
E E Asus9 Asus9
We rose and fell just like the tides, he filled my heart and soul and I
Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
Buried all my dreams for someone else to find in my pirate days
C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D# C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E
[instrumental]
E E Asus9 Asus9
This world is kinder to the kind that won't look back
Bsus Bsus C#m7 Asus9 - Bsus
They are the chosen few, among us now, unbowed somehow
E E Asus9 Asus9
And one day he turned to me, and before I took one breath
Bsus Bsus E E - E/D#
I knew I would only see his shadow in what light was left
C#m7 Asus9 Bsus E - E/D#
And those who need adventure, they can sail the seven seas
C#m7 Asus9 E B
And those who search for treasure, they must live on grander dreams
E E Asus9 Asus9
And if I've seen his face since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
Since I came to the end of my pirate days
E E Asus9 Asus9
And if I've called his name since then, it's only been in dreams my friend
Bsus Bsus Asus9 Asus9
So I came to the end of my pirate days
