Darius Rucker – You Can Have Charleston (Guitar)

            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,

      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

               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

    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

      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

            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

           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
