Charleston by Sons of Bill
Capo 2

      G                              Cadd9
I'm standin here in Richmond in the rain
                       G
Yeah she threw me out again
                       D
'Cause I spent all my pay on booze
G                            Cadd9
I can't believe she had the nerve
                        G
I guess I got what I deserve
                        D
She was all that I had left to lose
Em                     Cadd9     G
But it's cold here in Richmond tonight
Em             Cadd9            D
And my car is pointed south on I95

Chorus:
                          Cadd9                          G
I think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
                        D                Cadd9              G
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
                         Cadd9                     G
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
                   D
And build a castle in the sand
     Cadd9             G
And never come home to you

                  G                      Cadd9
I'll put on the radio and find some rock n roll
                          G
where the night is all my own
                   D
No one to wonder where I've been
G                                Cadd9
about the time I make north of Cheraw
                         G
She'll be expectin me to call
                         D
And beggin' to let her man back in
Em                           Cadd9           G
But tonight, girl, you can sit there by the phone
Em                           Cadd9                D
'Cause tonight you know that I don't think he's comin home

Chorus:
                          Cadd9                          G
I think I'll go down to Charleston and get drunk on the battery
                        D                Cadd9              G
And stroll up and down King street and find myself a queen
                         Cadd9                     G
And take her down to the ocean and watch as the waves roll in
                   D
And build a castle in the sand
     Cadd9             G
And never come home to you
