Charlemagne's Home Town chords by James McMurtry


James McMurtry Chords


Capo 3 fret

(C)I’ve got it all to (F) myself (C) now
(G)Crack the window just a(C) hair
Dark and close, (F) the way I like (C) it
(G)Black tobacco chokes the (C) air

(C)I keep to myself, (F)I lack the (C) language
(G)I measure out my life with coffee (C) grounds
The trees are the (F) color of (C) ashes
In Charle(G)magne’s home (C) town

(G)And I said I didn’t fear the (F) distance
(G)As if I’d ever been that (F) tough
I (C) can hear your voice across the water
(G)But that’s nowhere near (C) enough

Won’t you (F) fly across that (C) ocean
(F)Take a (G) train on (C) down
Because the (F) night’s growing (C) lonesome
(F)In Charle(G)magne’s home (C) town

(C)The fortune teller (F) told me (C) nothing
(G)That I wouldn’t have found out on my (C) own
She read my palm and she (F) took my (C) money
(G)She looked at me with eyes of (C) stone

(C)She said the odds are long and (F) stacked (C) against us
(G)Still we try because we (C) must
To keep from (F) leaving our (C) senses
(G)Long forgotten in the (C) dust

(G)Like the bones of some saint
Beneath a (F) church floor
(G)Who must have died for lack of(F) light
(C)The color snapshots I sent you
(G)All came out in black and (C) white

Won’t you (F) fly across that (C) ocean
(F)Take a (G) train on (C) down
Because the (F) night’s growing (C) lonesome
(F)In Charle(G)magne’s home (C) town

Solo..

(C)There’s a lonely child on a(F) snow white (C) pony
(G)On a carousel in the market (C) place
He sits on that horse and he (F) looks right through (C) me
(G)A shadow falls across his (C) face

(C)What will I do when (F) my glass is (C) empty
(G)What will I do when it all comes (C) down
(C)What will I do when it (F) comes to (C) nothing
In Charle(G)magne’s home (C) town

(C)What will I do when it (F) comes to (C) nothing
In Charle(G)magne’s home (C) town
