Song: The right thing to do Artist: Carly Simon Composer: Carly Simon Album: No secrets Tabbed by DJ 2nd June 2013 IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website displays, they are generated automatically from a generic database and often don't show the best options for a particular chord progression. I would suggest using the voicings in the text column numbers below. Cadd9 = x32030 Em7 = 022030 C = x32010 Fmaj7 = 133210 A7sus4 = x02030 C7 = x35353 Dm9 = xx0210 Dmaj7 = xx0222 Bb = x13331 F/G = 303211 Dm7 = xx0211 F = 133211 Am7 = x02213 Dm7/G = 300211 F/A = x03211 F#m7 = 242222 G/C = x30003 Em/G = 322000 B7 = x24242 Am9 = x05500 Cmaj7 = x32000 Gm7 = 353333 N.C. = No chord ^ = Emphasise the beat

...know you've had some bad luck with ladies before,

     Dm9               F/G         Am7
They drove you, or you drove them, crazy,

              F#m7       B7                Em7
But more im - portant is I know you're the one,

That the river flowed right to my door,

Dm7       Dm7   N.C.          G/C        G/C
Making me    ...just a little too free-------,
^ ^ ^ ^
            Am9                   Gm7       C7   F
But now the river doesn't seem to stop here any- more

Cadd9                        Fmaj7
Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers,

Set me moving to your sweetest song,

       Is the right thing to do,

Fmaj7 
       Nothing you can ever do...

        Cadd9
...will turn me away from you,

  Fmaj7               Cmaj7
I love you now, and I love you now,

Fmaj7                           Cadd9
Even though you're ten thousand miles away,
