Merle Haggard - Carolyn Chords

Intro  C  Dm  Em  Dm  C

Verse 1

C       Dm                           Em
Carolyn let me tell you what I heard about a man today
   F                                 C
He didn't come home from work and he went away
Dm                   C     F             G7            C
   'Til he came to a city, bright in the nightime like day

Verse 2

C                                   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
And somethin' about the smell of strange perfume
Dm                  G7         C
Made him feel warm,    and not alone

Chorus 1

C                              F
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own
    C         G7        C
And sometimes when he's lonely
                              F
I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite
    C                           G7
But Carolyn, a man will do that always
F                        C    Dm  Em  Dm  C
When he's treated bad at home 

Outro

C                              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 a man might do that sometimes out of spite
    C                           G7
But Carolyn, a man will do that always
F                        C     Dm  Em  Dm  C
When he's treated bad at home
