SONG: SOMETHING TAMED SOMETHING WILD ARTIST: MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] NOTE: I watched Mary Chapin Carpenter play this song live and what she is doing play that as an open chord and then places her pinky finger on the D string at the 3rd fret and plays a Cadd4 chord and then back to a C chord.

           C               Cadd4            C               Cadd4
There's a shoebox full of letters bound up neatly with some twine

      C              Cadd4            C               Cadd4
Each one was like a diamond, now the jewel is lost to time.

      Am             G
My reward is in the knowing

        F             G                  C   Cadd4  C Cadd4
That I held it in my hands for a little while

      G                      C                 F
What else are there but the treasures in your heart?

           G
Something Tamed

VERSE:
           C                  Cadd4             C                 Cadd4
For every time that I've been foolish when I'd wish that I'd been wise

     C         Cadd4               C                Cadd4
The power of regret still gets me right between the eyes.

         Am              G
And sometimes I want to weep

      F               G                  C  Cadd4  C Cadd4
With nothing but the tears of a little child

      G                      C               F
What else are there but the lessons in your heart?

Something Tamed

Something Wild
VERSE:
          C            Cadd4          C             Cadd4
Here's a map I've memorized of everywhere I've ever been.

         C           Cadd4                C           Cadd4
And the faces of everyone I've loved and left to try again

                Am                  G
I couldn't make out what they were saying

       F               G                C  Cadd4  C Cadd4
So instead I listened hard to what's inside

      G                     C                 F
What else is there but the voice inside your heart?

           G
Something tamed

           C  Cadd4  C Cadd4
Something wild
Em F Em F G VERSE:
      C              Cadd4             C             Cadd4
Some nights I'm woken up by something stirring in my chest

        C              Cadd4          C               Cadd4
It's a feeling I've no name for it's hard to catch my breath

             Am                 G
I'm staring down the great big lonesome

        F                 G            C  Cadd4  C Cadd4
As I'm listening for the dwindling of time

      G                      C              F
What else are there but the echoes in your heart?

           G
Something tamed

something wild
VERSE:
        C                Cadd4           C                 Cadd4
So the things that matter to me now are different from the past

        C           Cadd4             C           Cadd4
I care less about arriving than just being in the path

         Am                  G
Of some light carved out of nothing

     F                    G              C  Cadd4  C Cadd4
The way it feels when the universe has smiled

      G                      C               F
What else are there but the beating of your heart?

             C              Cadd4                C            Cadd4
There's the shoebox full of letters there's the map I won't forget

     C             Cadd4            C              Cadd4
The voices and the lessons and the signals that connect us

     Am            G
Manifested to the spirit

          F                  G     C         Cadd4  C Cadd4
Way deep down where it goes unseen by the eye

      G                     C                F    G
What else is there but the love inside your heart?

      G           C            F      G
To a life like a firework's to a spark

G          C                F
Over and above you in it's arc

           G
Something Tamed

Something Wild
