Merle Haggard - Carolyn guitar chord

(C) Carolyn (Dm) let me tell you what I heard (Em) about a man today

He (F) didn't come home from work and he (C) went away

(Dm) 'Til he came to a (C) city, (F) bright in the (G7) nightime like (C) day

There they say he met with some (Dm) women dressed in yellow and (Em) scarlet

Their (F) warm lips like a honeycomb, (C) dripped with honey

And (Dm) somethin' about the smell of (C) strange perfume

(Dm) Made him feel warm (G7), and not (C) alone

Chorus (2x)

(C) Yes Carolyn a man will do that (F)sometimes on his own

And (C) sometimes (G7) when he's (C) lonely

And I believe a man will do that (F) sometimes out of spite

But (C) Carolyn, a man will do that (G7) always

(F) When he's treated bad at home (C) (between choruses)(C) (Dm) (G)(F)(C)
