The Carter Family chords by Carly Simon

Chords with lyrics

E minor 7Em7
The Carter family lived next door
E minor 7Em7
For almost 14 years
E minor 7Em7
With Gwen and I inseperatable
E minor 7Em7
From rag dolls through brassieres

G7G7
Then Gwen began to bore me
      Am7Am7
With her giggles and her fears
Fmaj7Fmaj7
The day the Carters moved away
Cmaj7Cmaj7
I had to fake my tears
G+G
Oh  oh oh oh oh oh

Bb majorBb
I told new friends Gwen Carter
D MajorD
Had become a silly pest
D MajorD
And then I found I missed her
G+G
More than I'd ever have guessed

E minor 7Em7
Grandma used to nag at me
E minor 7Em7
To straighten up my spine
E minor 7Em7
To act respectful and read good books
E minor 7Em7
To take care of what was mine

G7G7
I hated being criticized
 Am7Am7
And asking her permission
Fmaj7Fmaj7
So what if her advise was wise
Cmaj7Cmaj7
It always hurt to listen
G+G
Oh  oh oh oh oh oh

Bb majorBb
I didn't cry when Granny died
D MajorD
She made me so depressed
D MajorD
And then I found I missed her
G+G
More than I'd ever have guessed

E minor 7Em7
You used to make me moan in bed
E minor 7Em7
But that can't be enough
E minor 7Em7
My friends complained your jokes were crude
E minor 7Em7
Your manners were too rough

G7G7
Don't know just what I wanted
 Am7Am7
But I know I wanted more
Fmaj7Fmaj7
Someone smooth, presentable
Cmaj7Cmaj7
To blend with my decor
G+G
Oh  oh oh oh oh oh

E minor 7Em7
And now at night I think of how
E minor 7Em7
You grinned when you undressed
E minor 7Em7
And I find I miss you
E minor 7Em7
More than I'd ever have guessed
