Caruso chords by Roy Buchanan

Chords with lyrics

My first tab!!
Lyric searches show last line in first verse is "cured of", but I always thought it was "cleared up".
I prefer the slightly raunchier version.


F# minorF#m
I was goin' across Oklahoma

   A augmentedA         E MajorE
And I thought I'd fall in love

E MajorE            F# minorF#m
Met up with a girl named Thelma

D MajorD         E MajorE        F# minorF#m
Took three months to get cleared up

F# minorF#m
Made up my mind I was gonna get myself together

   A augmentedA         E MajorE
I was gonna straighten up

E MajorE            F# minorF#m
Made me some friends out in Colorado

D MajorD             E MajorE             F# minorF#m
Till they found out I sold dope and they locked me up


F# minorF#m
You just name it and I've done it

   A augmentedA       E MajorE
By myself or with a crowd

E MajorE                F# minorF#m
I didn't care just what it cost me

D MajorD         E MajorE        F# minorF#m
I feel lucky that I'm still around


F# minorF#m
Ain't gonna pull no hard luck stories

   A augmentedA        E MajorE
Like a lot of people's done

E MajorE          F# minorF#m
I just did it cause I wanted to

D MajorD      E MajorE       F# minorF#m
To me it was always kinda' fun

F# minorF#m
I don't claim to be Caruso

  A augmentedA       E MajorE
And I'm not number one

E MajorE            F# minorF#m
And if you don't like my singing

D MajorD          E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Just put the needle on some other song

D MajorD          E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Just put your needle on some other song


F# minorF#m
I don't claim to be Caruso

  A augmentedA       E MajorE
And I'm not number one

E MajorE            F# minorF#m
And if you don't like my singing


D MajorD          E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Just put your needle on some other song


Ya' hear?

D MajorD          E MajorE     F# minorF#m
Just put your needle on another song
