The Carter Family chords by Carly Simon
Guitar chords with lyrics
Em7
The Carter family lived next door
Em7
For almost 14 years
Em7
With Gwen and I inseperatable
Em7
From rag dolls through brassieres
G7
Then Gwen began to bore me
Am7
With her giggles and her fears
Fmaj7
The day the Carters moved away
Cmaj7
I had to fake my tears
G
Oh oh oh oh oh oh Bb I told new friends Gwen Carter D Had become a silly pest D And then I found I missed her G More than I'd ever have guessed Em7 Grandma used to nag at me Em7 To straighten up my spine Em7 To act respectful and read good books Em7 To take care of what was mine G7 I hated being criticized Am7 And asking her permission Fmaj7 So what if her advise was wise Cmaj7 It always hurt to listen G Oh oh oh oh oh oh Bb I didn't cry when Granny died D She made me so depressed D And then I found I missed her G More than I'd ever have guessed Em7 You used to make me moan in bed Em7 But that can't be enough Em7 My friends complained your jokes were crude Em7 Your manners were too rough G7 Don't know just what I wanted Am7 But I know I wanted more Fmaj7 Someone smooth, presentable Cmaj7 To blend with my decor G Oh oh oh oh oh oh Em7 And now at night I think of how Em7 You grinned when you undressed Em7 And I find I miss you Em7 More than I'd ever have guessed
