Carpetbaggers Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Jenny Lewis
This is my first post and first tab ever. Comments welcome! Just remember that 
I've only been playing for a week, so try to be quasi-kind.  Stanks! 


INTRO: A A D A  A A E A x 2


A                          D        E
They come to town when the war is over
A                  E            A
Dirty boots in the middle of the night
A                  D              E
Trolling the bars, hitting on the soldiers
A                E        A 
Boys give it up without a fight
A          A            D      E 
They say, “Hey, boy, how about your place?
A                        E       A
I know you really want to take me home”
A                        D      E
Drop the bags off on the bedroom floor
A                         E   A
They make love with the lights on, saying

D                    A
“I'm a carpetbagger, baby
D                  A
I'm coming to your town
E
I'm going to treat you kind
E
I'm going to rob you blind
E
I'll smile all the time
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
A    E A

A                        D          E
Sally could have had any one of the boys
       A                              E          A
But she couldn't love no one she could not control
A                  D        E
Friend of mine and her got married
A                          E       A
I don't hear too much from them anymore
A                     D            E
Last I heard, he had a rope around his neck
A                   E        A
Dragging around the grocery store
A                     D                 E
Carrying her bags and pushing down the aisles
              A                      E        A
Saying, “I ain't got no home in this world anymore”


D                    A
“I'm a carpetbagger, baby
D                  A
I'm coming to your town
E
I'm going to treat you kind
E
I'm going to rob you blind
E
I'll smile all the time
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
A    E A

A                          D         E
They come to town when the party's over
A                      E            A
Books been written and truths been tried
A                          D           E
They'll take it all if the door's left open
A                          E         A
Steal the nose right from under your eyes


D                    A
Singing, “I'm a carpetbagger, baby
D                  A
I'm coming to your town
E
I'm going to treat you kind
E
I'm going to rob you blind
E
I'll smile all the time
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
      A    D E
Whoa, yeah
A    E A
