Lyle Lovett – Good-Bye To Carolina (Guitar)

         G
Pack the sofa

             C
And pack the old arm chair

         G
Tell the china

           A7    D
To ask the silverware

           G
To pray we find that

     C
They speak the language there

             G   D       G
And say good-bye to Carolina

          G
Leave the puppies

              C
And leave the old porch swing

            G
Tell the children

               A7   D
We're bringing everything

             G
And tell the picture

          C
Of Martin Luther King

             G   D       G
And say good-bye to Carolina

   C                    G
Go west young man while you still can

  C                   G
Before you're old and gray

   C               G
Go west and make a better life

     A7                    D
Than you could if you stayed

             G
So tell your family

              C
And tell your friends good-bye

           G
Say you'll write them

              A7      D
And keep them on your mind

               G
And say you'll see them

         C
Whenever someone dies

              G   D       G
And says good-bye to Carolina

          G
Leave the puppies

              C
And leave the old porch swing

         G
Tell the children

             A7    D
We're leaving everything

           G
Except the picture

          C
Of Martin Luther King

             G   D       G
And say good-bye to Carolina

   C                    G
Go west young man while you still can

  C                      G
Before you're out of time

    C              G
And you can always come back home

  A7                D
Tomorrow if you like

            G
Wave to the tractor

           C
And to the tractor shed

           G
And to the milk cow

              A7      D
That kicked me in the head

          G
I can't remember

           C
But was it I who said

     G   D      G
Good-bye to Carolina
