Caruso chords by Roy Buchanan

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#m
I was goin' across Oklahoma

      A                 E
And I thought I'd fall in love

E                        F#m
Met up with a girl named Thelma

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

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

      A                 E
I was gonna straighten up

E                        F#m
Made me some friends out in Colorado

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


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

      A             E
By myself or with a crowd

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

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


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

      A                E
Like a lot of people's done

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

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


F#m
I don't claim to be Caruso

    A              E
And I'm not number one

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

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

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


F#m
I don't claim to be Caruso

    A              E
And I'm not number one

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


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


Ya' hear?

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