MYSTERY (Emily Saliers)
-----------------------
[The chords written down here are Amy's, more or less.  She plays either
 a 12-string or high-strung guitar (which is basically a 12-string with the
 bigger strings removed).  Some fingerings are at the end.]
[Emily's guitar is tuned DADGAD, so most of her chords actually have 
A
 and
 
D
 notes in them: 
G
 becomes 
G
(9), 
A
 becomes A7sus4, 
Em
 becomes 
Em7
(4), etc.
 Buy the _Swamp_Ophelia_ songbook if you want Emily's chord fingerings.]
[Each chord, or pair of chords joined by hyphens, is one 6/8 measure.]

G
Each time you'd pull down the driveway
              
D

I wasn't sure when I would see you again

G
  -  
A7sus4
Yours was a twisted, blind-sided highway
                
D
      -      
Gm
     
D
No matter which road you took then

Oh you set up your place in my thoughts
                     
D

Dsus4
     
D
Moved in and made my thinking crowded
                      
Em7
                      
D/F#
Now we're out in the back with the barking dogs
                 
G
                        
A7sus4

My heart the red sun, your heart the moon clouded

           
G

I could go crazy on a night like tonight

Gmaj7/B
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
               
G
                 
A
And every thought's a possibility
               
D

D/C#
       
D7/C
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen
           
G
                      
A
Why do you spend this time with me
          
G

A
      
D
 - 
Dsus4
   
D
May be an equal mystery

So what is love then
Is it dictated or chosen (handed down or made by hand)
Does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years
Or is it just pop emotion (handed down or made by hand)

And if it ever was there, and it left
Does it mean it was never true
And to exist it must elude
Is that why I think these things of you

But I could go crazy on a night like tonight
When summer's beginning to give up her fight
And every thought's a possibility
And voices are heard, but nothing is seen
Why do you spend this time with me
May be an equal mystery

Oh, but you like the taste of danger

It shines like sugar on your lips
                  
C9
                   
C9
And you like to stand in the line of fire
              
Em7
                             
D7/C
Just to show you can shoot straight from your hip
                
G
                         
Gm
There must be a thousand things you would die for

She's a very good listener

G
And maybe that's all that we need is to meet in the middle
          
D
  -  
Dsus4
    
D
Of impossibility

Standing at opposite poles

Equal partners in a mystery


AMY'S CHORDS:
Dmaj9
: x00220     
G
: 320033     
Gm
: xx0333     
A7sus4
: x02030
D/C#
: x40232     
Gmaj7/B
: x20032     
D7/C
: x30232
C9
: x32330 (actually x32333, but can _you_ play that?)
(The rest should be pretty standard.)


If you want to get that jangly 12-string kind of sound on an ordinary
6-string,  put a capo at the 5th fret and transpose everything to the
key of 
A
.  Then, try using these for some of your chord fingerings:

 
Amaj9
      
D
(9)         
A
      As2s4        
A
      As2s4
x02100     x00230     x07650 - x07700     x07650 - x07700
[intro]
 
Amaj9
      
D
(9)        
A
       
Dm
(9)        
A
x02100     x00230     x02220 - x03230     x02220
[intro]

Later in the song, the only suggestions I have are 32320x for G9,
and x02220 x02120 x00252 (
A
 
Amaj7
 
D
(9)) instead of 
A
 
A/G#
 
Dmaj7/F#
.
