 #I figured this out from an acoustic set Terri Clark did on
 #GAC spotlite (I believe that's the name of the show). She
 #played it capoed on the 4th fret. But if you want to play
 #just like the CD version of it, it should be capoed on the
 #3rd fret.
 #
 #I'm not sure on the names of some of the chords so I've
 #written the fingerings as well. I'm not an expert on the
 #names of chords, or technical guitar terms, so bear with
 #me. :)

 --------------------------------
 
 

 #
 # The thing about these chords is they have a sort of
 #bluesish riff in them where you add a base note after a
 #couple of strums and then release it. The strum pattern
 #for the verses is: down, down, +down, down - down, down,
 #+down. "+down" is where you add the extra base note. For
 #example, with D you would add on 4th string 4th fret for
 #the "+down" strums. So when I type out the EADGBE chord
 #form I'll put the "+down" chord form in parenthesis right
 #along side the original form.
 # There are a couple chords I gave my own lettering of "M"
 #and "M2", that means "Mystery Chord" and "Mystery Chord 2".

 GETTING THERE
 (written by Terri Clark and Gary Burr)
 
 D                           E 
 Well the sun sets in the west
 G                     A                 
 but as fast as you go how would you know
 D                    E   
 You're a busy boy I guess
 G                         A                   
 Who just wants the gold at the end of the road
 
 M open Em
 Think of all you miss
 G                        
 Passing through like this
 
 C              M2         C1       C2         
 You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
 C             M2         C1        C2      
 You wanna land the moment you're in the air
 C             M2      C1     C2            
 Baby the livin' is all in the gettin' there
 
 D                           E 
 don't be first in every line
 G                   A             
 Now and then you can be at the end
 D                              E 
 'cause there's only so much time
 G                          A                 
 and you can't get back every minute you spend
 
 M open E
 You're not even sure
 G                         
 of what you're runnin' for
 
 (chorus)
 
 (instrumental) D, M, E, G, D, M, C, G
 
 
 M open E
 Think of all you miss
 G                        
 Passing through like this
 
 (chorus)
 (play verse chords all the way out)
 
 The livin' is all in the gettin' there
 Gettin' there

 -----------------------------------
 
 

 
 The final chorus is picked for half and then C is pulsed by
 pressing and unpressing the fingering.
 
 Any questions? Was I really confusing?
