Mary Chapin Carpenter

The Bug

by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 BUG (by Mark Knopfler; recorded by Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------------------------
[Each chord is one measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen
are one measure _total_.]

D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7
[intro]

D7 D7 D7 D7
Well it's a strange old game, you learn it slow
D7 D7 D7 D7
One step forward and it's back you go
D7 D7 D7 D7
You're standing on the throttle, you're standing on the brake
D7 D7
In the groove till you make a mistake

D7 D7 D7 G7
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug
D7 D7 D7 C - G
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're just a fool in love
D7 D7 D7 G7
Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you're the ball
D7 D7 D7 C - G
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're gonna lose it all

You gotta know happy, you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely and you're gonna know sad
When you're rippin' and a-ridin' and you're coming on strong
You start slippin' and a-slidin' and it all goes wrong

Because sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all falls together baby, sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're gonna lose it all

A7 A7(sus4) A7 D7 A7 A7 A7 C - G D7 D7 D7 D7
[guitar solo]

One day you got the glory, and then you got none
One day you're a diamond, and then you're a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll before we say goodbye

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger baby, sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're gonna lose it all
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby, sometimes you're just a fool in love

D7 D7 D7 G7
[repeat and fade]
