PASSIONATE KISSES (Lucinda Williams)
------------------------------------
* These chords match Mary-Chapin Carpenter's cover version.
* Lucinda Williams' recording of this song is in E, so you'd have to put
a capo at the fourth fret to match the recording if you use these chords.
* Mary-Chapin Carpenter's recording is in D, and I know she plays it in
C with a capo at the second fret.
* In the instrumental bits, I put bar lines (|) to separate measures;
everywhere else in the song, one chord is one measure.
* The rhythm guitar doesn't actually play all those chords in the intro,
but it sounds neat. (It actually plays just C G Am F.)
* Mix up some (9)'s with the C's and F's.

C G
Is it too much to ask
Am F
I want a comfortable bed that won't hurt my back
C G
Food to fill me up
Am F
And warm clothes and all that stuff
C Em
Shouldn't I have this
Am
Shouldn't I have this
F
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
C F
Passionate kisses
C F
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
C F
Passionate kisses
C C(addF) C | G G(addE) G | Am Am(9) Am | F |
from you
Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band
Pens that won't run out of ink
And cool quiet and time to think
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses

from you

[guitar solo]
Do I want too much
Am I going overboard to want that touch
I shout it out to the night
"Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right"
Shouldn't I have this (shouldn't I)
Shouldn't I have this (shouldn't I)
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from
C F [the F is actually single notes: C-F-F-F-F-E-D---]
from you
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh

[repeat and fade]
Someone met John Jenning's (MCC's guitarist) after a concert and asked
him how he plays this song in concert; he wrote it down in standard musical
notation, someone sent it to me, and I converted it to tablature. (But
there's no guarantee that this is where John Jennings puts his fingers.)
The ">" marks are accents.
[Note that this is NOT the recorded version; this is how Jennings plays it
on stage with a smaller band. The recorded version has more than one
electric guitar.]
