Charleston by Sons of Bill
Capo 2

   G+G               Cadd9Cadd9
I'm standin here in Richmond in the rain
            G+G
Yeah she threw me out again
            D MajorD
'Cause I spent all my pay on booze
G+G              Cadd9Cadd9
I can't believe she had the nerve
            G+G
I guess I got what I deserve
            D MajorD
She was all that I had left to lose
E minorEm           Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
But it's cold here in Richmond tonight
E minorEm       Cadd9Cadd9      D MajorD
And my car is pointed south on I95

Chorus:
             Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
I think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
            D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
             Cadd9Cadd9           G+G
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
          D MajorD
And build a castle in the sand
   Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
And never come home to you

         G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
I'll put on the radio and find some rock n roll
             G+G
where the night is all my own
          D MajorD
No one to wonder where I've been
G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
about the time I make north of Cheraw
             G+G
She'll be expectin me to call
             D MajorD
And beggin' to let her man back in
E minorEm              Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
But tonight, girl, you can sit there by the phone
E minorEm              Cadd9Cadd9        D MajorD
'Cause tonight you know that I don't think he's comin home

Chorus:
             Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
I think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
            D MajorD        Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
             Cadd9Cadd9           G+G
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
          D MajorD
And build a castle in the sand
   Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
And never come home to you
