Goodbye Carolina Blues tab by Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties

Intro

[Verse]

  G+G            B minorBm
Goodbye, Carolina. I felt cold and I felt weak.
       A minorAm
I took the midnight bus from Asheville
                 C majorC        G+G                  C majorC
passed like a ghost through Tennessee. Brushed the Northern edge of Blacksburg. Like your hair off of your
                  FF               C majorC
cheeks. I wish I could fall asleep. Half-dead in the window seat-- awake for weeks.

[Verse]

G+G                  B minorBm              A minorAm
Good morning, Manhattan. Stopped a Port Authority. I’ll take the train under the
        C majorC
river; ride the A augmentedA out to the G.
       G+G                   C majorC
And I’ll walk along your narrow streets with a dollar cup of coffee, letting it
FF
stain my teeth. Two sugars,
  C majorC
a drop of cream. Bittersweet.

[Verse]

G+G                      B minorBm                    A minorAm
God damn I missed you, Brooklyn. Caught my breath here on your streets. I left my winter

coat in Charlotte.
   C majorC             G+G                   C majorC
I’m cursing at the breeze. I’m hiding out from early March. Read the sign hung in

our lobby. The elevator
FF                   C majorC
broke last week. I walk the stairs to 403.


     E minorEm       D MajorD     C majorC         E minorEm       D MajorD      C majorC
I don’t blame you for changing the locks. I think I’d probably do the same if it
       E minorEm
were me. I’m gathering up the
 D MajorD      C majorC               A minorAm              C majorC
courage to knock. I’m not sure what I’m looking for. I don’t know what I want. I
    G+G
don’t want anything.
       Eb MajorEb
I don’t want anything.


G+G                     B minorBm                  A minorAm
Some college student answers and my heart crash-lands on the floor. He says he sublet

this place last month.
     C majorC           G+G               C majorC
He never heard of me before. He sees me there collapsing and he opens up the door.
     FF
It’s all new furniture.
         C majorC
I barely recognize it anymore.


         E minorEm     D MajorD        C majorC      E minorEm      D MajorD
He says, I’m sorry, man. I wish that I knew more. I’m not sure exactly what you’re
     C majorC      E minorEm
looking for, but no Diane,
        D MajorD       G+G     C majorC     A minorAm       C majorC      G+G
