<h2>Mary Chapin Carpenter</h2>
<h3>Tunings and capo positions</h3>
These charts have been compiled from various sources over the past few years.
The best way to find out about capos is to watch performances live or on
television, although sometimes I have to make assumptions based on how the
songs sound (especially with the older ones which aren't performed as much
anymore).<p>

The charts try to list six things for each song:<br>
1) The key that the song was originally recorded in.  Sometimes this changes
   in live performances.<br>
2) Where Mary Chapin Carpenter has her capo (0 if there's no capo).<br>
3) The key MCC plays it in.<br>
4) MCC's tuning.  If it's blank, she uses standard tuning.  If there's a
   question mark, that means it might be standard, but I'm not sure.<br>
5) Where the lead guitarist has his capo.  This is usually John Jennings
   (especially in concert), so I put his name there.<br>
6) The key the lead guitarist plays it in.  John Jennings rarely, if ever,
   uses non-<wbr>standard tunings, so there's no "JJ tuning" column.<p>

If I wasn't sure about MCC's capo or tuning, I put a question mark.  If I
wasn't sure about Jennings', I left it blank.  If you can help me fill in
any of the blanks (from concerts or old TV appearances, perhaps), let me
know!<p>

* <font size=-1> On the album, the lead guitar is tuned down a half step.
   In concert, they play it in F rather than Eb, and the lead plays in E
   with a capo on the first fret.</font><br>
