Carolyn (Merle Haggard)
[C] Carolyn [Dm] let me tell you what I heard [Em] about a man today
He [F] didn't come home from work and he [C] went away
[Dm] 'Til he came to a [C] city, [F] bright in the [G7] nightime like [C] day
There they say he met with some [Dm] women dressed in yellow and [Em] scarlet
Their [F] warm lips like a honeycomb, [C] dripped with honey
And [Dm] somethin' about the smell of [C] strange perfume
[Dm] Made him feel warm [G7], and not [C] alone
Chorus (2x)
[C] Yes Carolyn a man will do that [F]sometimes on his own
And [C] sometimes [G7] when he's [C] lonely
And I believe a man will do that [F] sometimes out of spite
But [C] Carolyn, a man will do that [G7] always
[F] When he's treated bad at home [C] (between choruses)[C] [Dm] [G][F][C]
