Charleston by Sons of Bill
Capo 2
G Cadd9
I'm standin here in Richmond in the rain
G
Yeah she threw me out again
D
'Cause I spent all my pay on booze
G Cadd9
I can't believe she had the nerve
G
I guess I got what I deserve
D
She was all that I had left to lose
Em Cadd9 G
But it's cold here in Richmond tonight
Em Cadd9 D
And my car is pointed south on I95
Chorus:
Cadd9 G
I think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
D Cadd9 G
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
Cadd9 G
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
D
And build a castle in the sand
Cadd9 G
And never come home to you
G Cadd9
I'll put on the radio and find some rock n roll
G
where the night is all my own
D
No one to wonder where I've been
G Cadd9
about the time I make north of Cheraw
G
She'll be expectin me to call
D
And beggin' to let her man back in
Em Cadd9 G
But tonight, girl, you can sit there by the phone
Em Cadd9 D
'Cause tonight you know that I don't think he's comin home
Repeat chorus
Solo is played over the chorus chords
Repeat chorus
G Cadd9
I'm standin here in Richmond in the rain
G
Yeah she threw me out again
D
'Cause I spent all my pay on booze
Em might be Em7, but it's from a live recording and I can't tell.
