Keith Whitley - Charlotte’s In North Carolina

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
D G
I watched the taxi take her away
A7 D
Through the window she was waving goodbye
G
There wasn’t much left to say
Em A7 G
Her last I love you was a lie

[Verse 2]
A7 D G
Did she leave me for somebody else
A7 D G
And just leave me behind
A7 D
All she left me was by myself
Em A7
And if that plane arrives on time

[Chorus]
D G D
Charlotte’s in North Carolina
G A7 D
Back where she wanted to be
D G D
Charlotte’s in North Carolina
Em A7 Bm
She left me here in Saint Louis in misery

[Verse 3]
D G
I was kinda hoping she’d call
A7 D
Let me know she made it okay
G
Now that phone’s driving me up the wall
Em A7 G
It hasn’t rung all day

[Verse 4]
A7 D G
I hope she finds what she’s looking for
A7 D G
That’s all that matters to me
A7 D
Cause all it cost me was my heart
Em A7
To set my sweet Charlotte free

[Chorus]
D G D
Charlotte’s in North Carolina
G A7 D
Back where she wanted to be
D G D
Charlotte’s in North Carolina
Em A7 Bm
She left me here in Saint Louis in misery

D G D
Charlotte’s in North Carolina
G A7 D
Back where she wanted to be
D G D
Charlotte’s in North Carolina
Em A7 D G D
She left me here in Saint Louis in misery
