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

   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
     C   C
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

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.]
