Carolyn chords by Merle Haggard

C    Dm               Em
Carolyn let me tell you what I've heard about a man today

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

         C  F       G7       C
Till he came to a city bright in the night time like day

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


   F             C
Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey

Dm              C       Dm
Something about the smell of strange perfume

       G7      C
Made him feel warm and not alone

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


  C    G7     C
And sometimes when he's lonely

                   F
And I believe that man might do that sometimes out of spite

  C             G7  F
But Carolyn a man will do that always

             C
