Me And Charlie Talkin'

NOTE: The strumming pattern is tougher than it
      sounds and I have not included all the
      chords as there are passing chords using
      sus2 and sus4 throughout!  This is not
      the only way to play this song.  It can
      be played in the open position!

(Verse 1)

G              C              G
Me and Charlie boy used to go walkin',
C                               G
 sittin? in the woods behind my house
C                            G
 When bein' lovers meant a stolen kiss,
             G                       D    Dsus4
and holdin' hands with nobody else around

(Verse 2)

G               C             G
Charlie said he wanted to get married,
C                                     G
 but we were only ten so we?d have to wait
C                                    G
 He said we?d never let our love run dry,
             D        G     C
like so many do these days



Refrão -------------
      C
So we treat our love like a firefly,
C             C    D  G     C      G           C
 like it only gets to shine, for a little while
Continues after the ad
C
 Catch it in a mason jar,
                          C   D    G    C           G
with holes in the top and run like hell, to show it off
    F                             D
Oh promises we made when we?d go walkin?,
            F  D   C       G       C    G    C
that?s just me and Charlie talkin',
-------------------- 


(Verse 3)

G              C                 G
Charlie always said he?d like to leave here,
C                                   G
turned eighteen and left our sleepy town
C                                 G
Letters came and went and I kept waiting,
    C               G                               D  Dsus4
for Charlie to come back, and bring the life he?d found,

(Verse 4)

     G             C                 G
It's funny how the time and distance change you,
C                                         G
 the road you take don?t always lead you home
 C                                G
You can start a love with good intentions
                             G   C
and you'll look up and it?s gone

    F                             D

            F  D   C       G       C    G   C

(Break)

(Verse 5)

G             C                  G
Now an then I sometimes think of Charlie,
C                                   G
how we thought we knew it all back 'en
    C                          G
Now I?d give anything to feel love,

from a child?s heart again
