Patty Larkin (b. June 19, 1951, Iowa) is a Boston-based singer-songwriter. She trained at the Berklee College of Music before pursuing a solo career in folk music.
Her songwriting has been praised for its wit, and her technical guitar playing has also received praise (which she made light fun of in her feminist song, Not Bad for a Broad).
In 1990, she joined Christine Lavin, Megan McDonough, and Sally Fingerett to form the Four Bitchin' Babes, with whom she toured and recorded one album.

Here's a Patty Larkin tune off the "Angels Running" album which is easy to learn and hauntingly beautiful, I think. Mary Chapin Carpenter sings a nice harmony on the chorus. The Story also sing background vocals on several songs. It's a gem of an album. I've indicated the chords. A listen to the song should convey the simple picking pattern.

CCsus4 I told him that my dog wouldn't run CCsus4 I told him that I loved someone C Yeah, that's my old car out there Csus4 In the parking lot
CCsus4 I saw him when he first walked in CCsus4 I thought it was a vision of him CCsus4 He was looking like where he had been CCsus4 Looking kind of fragile
Refrain: AmCsus4G He said I read the Bible every day Am Tryin' to keep the demons at bay Am Thank God when the sun goes down G I don't blow away
My friend said, was he always like that I said yeah, but he was never this bad I remember us playing for nickels and dimes Out on the corner
I asked him to marry me once He told me he couldn't because This would be all that there was
(Refrain)
He was laughing but I didn't get the joke He was dying to light up a smoke And I wanted to cry
In the florescent light of the restaurant I smiled and I got up to go I was hoping for a goodbye to hold
But it was kind of like touching a ghost So I ran when I walked out
(Refrain)
I got in my car and I drove Over the bridge to the coast Wondering where does old love go
