Merle Haggard - Carolyn Chords

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
When he's treated bad at home
