[Intro]
| G | Fadd9 | C/E | Cm/D# | 2x
[Verse 1]
G
You can have Charleston
Fadd9
The cobblestone streets
C/E
The steeples looking down
Cm/D#
On the battery
G
The Topsails and the Clydesdales
Fadd9
Pulling people all around
C/E
The ocean breeze and the live oak trees
Cm/D#
God, I'm gonna miss this town, but
G
You can have Charleston
Fadd9
I'll pack up and leave
C/E
Maybe find a spot on the West Coast
Cm/D#
Give you lots of room to breathe
G
With your new life and your new love
Fadd9
I won't get in your way
C/E
I'll just wish you well and I'll try like hell
Cm/D#
To smile and walk away,
[Chorus]
G
From my home, my heart
F
Where I was born and raised
C
Where one day they're gonna take my body
C
And lay it in a grave
G
My soul, don't wanna go
Am/C
But it's got to be this way
C
It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye
C
But it'll kill me if I stay
[Verse 2]
G
So you can have Charleston
Fadd9
It's really for the best
C/E
Girl, it's your town now
Cm/D#
Plus I could never rest
G
There're too many ghosts on this old coast
Fadd9
Too many memories
C/E
It's where we met and we fell in love
Cm/D#
And where you cut me deep and you made me bleed
[Chorus]
G
In my home, my heart
F
Where I was born and raised
C
Where one day they're gonna take my body
C
And lay it in a grave
G
No, my soul, don't wanna go
Am/C
But it's got to be this way
C
It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye
C
But it'll kill me if I stay
[Solo]
| G | F | C/E | Cm/D# |
[Bridge]
Em
From time to time
D G
I might be passing through
G/B C
But I promise you
Cm/D# G
That's all I'll do
[Verse 3]
G
You can have Charleston
Fadd9
I'll take these broken dreams
C
Load 'em in up in a suitcase
Cm/D#
And see where it leads
[Chorus]
G
I'll take 26 until I get
F
A million miles away
C/E
I'll try and start all over
Cm/D# G
In a brand new place
F C/E Cm/D#
Oh, you can have Charleston
G F C/E Cm/D#
Take care of Charleston, oh
G F C/E Cm/D#
You can have Charleston
