I think Amy & Emily don't always play the exact same chords during the song, so I chose the dominant one. As for the rhythm, well, you're on your own. It would be too difficult for me to write it out. I have tried to show how many beats each chord receives in the introduction. If you spot any errors please let me know. Thanks and enjoy. -Bill- [email protected] "No Way To Treat A Friend" by Indigo Girls Capo II

Well, when I walked to the door

      A7sus4         A7
I was feelin' mighty fine.

                A7*                        E7#9
I was thinkin', hey, I got love to ease my mind.

      E7
And I got to the car

      A7sus4         A7
I was starin' at the stars.

             A7*                              E7
I was thinkin', this ain't no way to spend my time.

        (E7)
I wanna true love affair.

         A7sus4            A7
Not this touch 'n' go' the air.

                                       E7    E9
You know I don't know if I'm comin' on down.

              E7
I don't wanna love touch 'n' go.

        A7sus4           A7
I wanna feel 'n' I wanna know

                      Em         E7
Unless you can get me outta this town.

       E7
When I saw you smile

         A7sus4         A7
Just one look into your eyes

                A7*              E7     E9
I was thinkin', hey, I'm in love again.

       E7
Then I heard you laugh.

                A7sus4          A7
Honey, you were laughin' at the past.

             A7*                                E7#9  
I was thinkin', this ain't no way to treat your friend.

         E7
Yow were laughin' at the past.

                A7sus4               A7
Honey, you were smilin' through your ass,

         A7*                     E7    E9
Watchin' cars drive away in your mind.

         E7
You were hopin' I would leave.

             A7sus4           A7
Honey, I was dreamin' I could stay.

              A7*                    E7
This ain't no way for me to spend my time.
(2nd guitar solo)
              E7                    A7sus4
Honey, I want words.  I want touch.

                                A7 
Is that too much for someone so far removed

                      E7
From what you used to claim.

                               A7sus4
You be cool.  I still be kind.

                 A7
It's all in your mind.

       A7*                                   E7#9
I'm in love with you.  Ain't gonna play your game.  No!

       E7
If you want my advice,

       A7sus4                A7
Don't say it's wrong when it feels right.

A7*                         E7#9
Push me down just to see me crawl.
(E7#9) I'll be crawlin' on your floor.
        A7sus4            A7
I'll be reachin' for your door.

        A7*                        E7#9
I'll be crawlin' right out of your eyes.

               A7sus4        A7          E7
Honey, I'll be walkin' right out of your eyes.

               A7sus4        A7          E7   E7*  E7sus4   E7
Honey, I'll be walkin' right out of your eyes.
