You Can Have Charleston

            G
You can have Charleston
Fadd9
 The cobblestone streets
C/E
 The steeples looking down
  Cm/D#
On the battery
     G
The Topsails and the Clydesdales
         Fadd9
Pulling people all around
    C/E
The ocean breeze and the live oak trees
    Cm/D#
God, I'm gonna miss this town, but
            G
You can have Charleston
Fadd9
 I'll pack up and leave
       C/E
Maybe find a spot on the West Coast
        Cm/D#
Give you lots of room to breathe
           G
With your new life and your new love
   Fadd9
I won't get in your way
           C/E
I'll just wish you well and I'll try like hell
Cm/D#
 To smile and walk away,

      G
From my home, my heart
      F
Where I was born and raised
           C
Where one day they're gonna take my body
     C
And lay it in a grave
    G
My soul, don't wanna go
          Am/C
But it's got to be this way
             C
It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye
           C
But it'll kill me if I stay

               G
So you can have Charleston
Fadd9
 It's really for the best
C/E
 Girl, it's your town now
    Cm/D#
Plus I could never rest
              G
There're too many ghosts on this old coast
     Fadd9
Too many memories
       C/E
It's where we met and we fell in love
               Cm/D#
And where you cut me deep and you made me bleed

    G
In my home, my heart
      F
Where I was born and raised
           C
Where one day they're gonna take my body
     C
And lay it in a grave
        G
No, my soul, don't wanna go
          Am/C
But it's got to be this way
             C
It's gonna break my heart to say, goodbye
           C
But it'll kill me if I stay

| G  | F  | C/E  | Cm/D#  |

      Em
From time to time
   D        G
I might be passing through
 G/B    C
But I promise you
       Cm/D#       G
That's all I'll do

            G
You can have Charleston
Fadd9
 I'll take these broken dreams
C
 Load 'em in up in a suitcase
Cm/D#
 And see where it leads

           G
I'll take 26 until I get
   F
A million miles away
C/E
 I'll try and start all over
       Cm/D#          G
In a brand new place
   F            C/E           Cm/D#
Oh, you can have Charleston
            G           F     C/E     Cm/D#
Take care of Charleston, oh
            G             F     C/E     Cm/D#
You can have Charleston
