Charlotte (My Wild Valley Wind) chords

Open tuning
3/4 timing (waltz)

INTRO
C / Am / G / Fmaj7/A
C / Am / G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)

C / Am
I wrote our names on the sides of the trains 
G / Fmaj7/A 
In the old Aberdeen yard
C / Am
Thinking one day you'll see, in the city of Marie
G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)
And return to this broken heart

C / Am
I remember you crying over Ossian's writing 
G / Fmaj7/A 
As you read his words soft and sweet
C / Am
That was the last time, those were your last lines
G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)
I knew before you set out free

C / Am
My Charlotte, my baby, my wild valley wind, 
G / Fmaj7/A 
At night I hear cries from the deep
C / Am
They sing they've seen you, out of the blue
G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)
On your stairway to the sea

C / Am
So up your river I climbed to your Acadian mind 
G / Fmaj7/A
To explain my motive for my deed
C / Am
My unrequited love, your God up above
G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)
My sweet spirit of the street

INSTRUMENTAL
C / Am / G / Fmaj7/A
C / Am / G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)

C / Am
I never stop trying, I think of you smiling 
G / Fmaj7/A 
As I spend my days waiting for you
C / Am
My Charlotte, my baby, my wild valley wind
G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)
My Joan of the deep, dark and blue

C / Am
I remember you crying over Ossian's writing 
G / Fmaj7/A 
As you read his words soft and sweet
C / Am
That was the last time, those were our last lines
G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)
I carved them in the linden tree

C / Am
And, I wrote our names on the sides of the trains 
G / Fmaj7/A 
in the old Aberdeen yard
C / Am
Thinking one day you'll see, in the city of Marie
G / Fmaj7/A (hangs on)
And return to this broken heart 

OUTRO
G / C
