Merle Haggard – Carolyn (Guitar)

C       Dm                           Em
Carolyn let me tell you what I heard about a man today

   F                                 C
He didn't come home from work and he went away

Dm                   C     F             G7            C
   'Til he came to a city, bright in the nightime like day

C                                   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
And somethin' about the smell of strange perfume

Dm                  G7         C
Made him feel warm,    and not alone

C                              F
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own

    C         G7        C
And sometimes when he's lonely

                              F
I believe a man might do that sometimes out of spite

    C                           G7
But Carolyn, a man will do that always

F                        C    Dm  Em  Dm  C
When he's treated bad at home 

C                              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 a man might do that sometimes out of spite

    C                           G7
But Carolyn, a man will do that always

F                        C     Dm  Em  Dm  C
When he's treated bad at home
