Chords for Charlene - I've Never Been To Me (1977/1982)

[F] _ [Eb] You've [Bb] made it, cursing [Gm] at your life
[Cm] You're [Eb] a [F] discontented mother
[Gm] And a regimented one
[Eb]
I've no [F] doubt you dream [Bb] about
The things [Gm] you'll never do
[C] But I wish someone had to talk to [Eb] me like I
I want to talk to [F] you
[Bb] I've been to [F] Georgia and [Gm] California and it [Dm] would run
[Eb] Took the [Gm] hand of a preacher, [Cm] man, and we
Made [Fm] love in the [Eb] sun
But [Bb] I ran out of [F] places and friendly [Gm] faces
Because I [Dm] had to be free
[Eb] I've [Gm] been to paradise [Eb] but I've never [Bb] been to me
[Bb] _
_ [F] Please [Eb] lady, [Bb] please lady, don't [Gm] just walk away
[Cm] Cause I [Eb] have this [F] need to tell you
[Gm] Why I'm all alone today
[Eb] I can [F] see so much of [Bb] me still living [Gm] in your [Bb] eyes
[C] Won't you share a part of a weary [Eb] heart
That has lived a million lives
[Bb] Oh, I've been to [F] this and the Isle of [Gm] Grace
When I sip champagne [Dm] in the evening
[Eb] I move like [Bb] Harlow in Monte [Cm] Carlo
And I [Eb] showed them [F] what I got
[A] I've [Bb] been undressed by [F] kings
And I've seen something [Gm] that I wasn't [Dm] supposed to see
[Eb] I've [Gm] been to paradise [Eb] but I've never [Bb] been to me
_ Sometimes [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
I've been to [F] crying for unborn [Gm] children
That might have [Dm] made me complete
[Eb] But I, I took the [Bb] sweet life and never [Cm] knew I'd be
Bitter [F] from the [Eb] sweet
I [Bb] spent my life [F] exploring the subtle [Gm] whoring
That costs too [Dm] much to be free
Hey [Eb] lady, I've [Bb] been to [Eb] paradise but [Bb] _ _ [Cm]
I've never [Eb] been [Bb] _ _ [F] to me
[Gm] Ooh, [Dm] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, [Eb] ooh, ooh
Been [Bb] to paradise, [Eb]
[Bb] never been to me
[F] Me, me, me, me, me, me, [Gm] me, me, me, me, me
_ [Dm] _
_ [Eb] _ [Bb] Been to [Eb] paradise, paradise
[Cm] But I've [Dm] never [Eb] been [Cm] to [Bb] me
[F] Ooh, _ [Eb] ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Fm] _
