Charlemagnes Home Town by James McMurtry
Charlemagnes Home Town
Capo 3 fret
C F C
I?ve got it all to myself now
G C
Crack the window just a hair
F C
Dark and close, the way I like it
G C
Black tobacco chokes the air
C F C
I keep to myself, I lack the language
G C
I measure out my life with coffee grounds
F C
The trees are the color of ashes
G C
In Charle magne?s home town
G F
And I said I didn?t fear the distance
G F
As if I?d ever been that tough
C
I can hear your voice across the water
G C
But that?s nowhere near enough
F C
Won?t you fly across that ocean
F G C
Take a train on down
F C
Because the night?s growing lonesome
F G C
In Charle magne?s home town
C F C
The fortune teller told me nothing
G C
That I wouldn?t have found out on my own
F C
She read my palm and she took my money
G C
She looked at me with eyes of stone
C F C
She said the odds are long and stacked against us
G C
Still we try because we must
F C
To keep from leaving our senses
G C
Long forgotten in the dust
G
Like the bones of some saint
F
Beneath a church floor
G F
Who must have died for lack of light
C
The color snapshots I sent you
G C
All came out in black and white
F C
Won?t you fly across that ocean
F G C
Take a train on down
F C
Because the night?s growing lonesome
F G C
In Charle magne?s home town
[Solo]
C F C
There?s a lonely child on a snow white pony
G C
On a carousel in the market place
F C
He sits on that horse and he looks right through me
G C
A shadow falls across his face
C F C
What will I do when my glass is empty
G C
What will I do when it all comes down
C F C
What will I do when it comes to nothing
G C
In Charle magne?s home town
C F C
What will I do when it comes to nothing
G C
In Charle magne?s home town
