Chords for The Milk Carton Kids - Charlie - live Freiheiz Munich München 2013-09-12

[N] _ [D] _ _ _ [Db] [D] I'd like to introduce you to my [C] band [F] mate.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Db] This is Kenneth [C] Pattengale.
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[Ab] _ It's funny when we call ourselves [Eb] a band.
Oh, I think that's what it [G] is.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
But we are a band.
This is a band.
It's just that we're all the members.
_ [G] _ [Cm] I [B] think for the rest of the [Ab] show you should [G] tell all your friends about the ropes and then immediately deconstruct them on stage.
_ [Ab] _ [G] That would just be a riot.
[Abm] _ _ _ [Fm] That [B] was [Db] what I was planning [D] on.
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I'd like to introduce you to myself.
[Dm] _ _ [C] I'm Joey Ryan and our [B] band is called The [Bb] Milk Carton Kids.
[F] _
[B] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ This is all [F] it ever is.
[Eb] It's just the two [B] of us.
_ This is [C] not the acoustic versions.
_ _ This is [Ebm] just the whole thing.
[C] This is all it was ever meant to be.
It was all it was ever supposed to be in [B] all of its [D] underwhelming glory.
This is all it is.
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ Kenneth is going to sing you this next song which he's written [Eb] for the daughter that he's having.
_ Which is [B] very exciting [F] for him. _ _ _ _ _
[Db] He's going [F] to name his daughter Charlie. _ _
_ She's going to be [D] named after [Bb] this song.
I wrote for her called Charlie.
[F] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [C] The [D] lyrics of which [Db] sort of espouse Kenneth's child-rearing [B] philosophy. _ _
_ [D] Kenneth has never been a father [B] before so as far as I'm concerned his child-rearing [Bm] philosophy is merely [Bb] _ [F] _
theories [Bb] and [C] _ [B] conjecture and untested hypotheses.
But _ people seem to find some sort of [Cm] wisdom or enjoyment _ [C] from listening to the song.
[Ab] _ _ _ You [C] got anything better than just [Ab] conjecture and hypotheses?
No but I didn't write a whole song about it. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] I stay in my lane.
_ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ As [Ab] opposed to on the drive today where you didn't do that really at all. _ _
[C] Joey _ [G] drives through [Ab] Germany like an American.
[G] _ _ _ Which is really fucking scary.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Kenneth drives through [F] Germany [D] asleep in the back seat.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] We [Ebm] really like it.
_ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So here's this song Charlie for Kenneth's daughter.
_ I guess keep in mind [C] _
Charlie has this song written for her.
She's got a name assigned to [Bb] her and everything.
_ [C] But she doesn't quite yet have a [B] due date or [Bb] even a mother. _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ We've been playing [Bm] this song for a few years.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] It's almost getting there.
[F] _
_ _ _ _ [Gm] You're acting a little_
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Charlie I'll make a deal with [Bb] you. _
[F] _ _ _ After [C] which you can do [F] anything you want.
_ _ I know I've got the [C] leg up.
This yours to [F] hold me.
Made [Bb] up but baby you know I wrote this song [F] for you. _ _
_ _ Don't go kissing [Bb] boys.
Don't make a lot of [F] noise.
_ Let daddy [C] sing his songs.
Just be [F] real good. _ _ _
[Bb] Treat your [C] teachers nice and friendly.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ And _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [F] have [Bb] a good _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
time.
Don't be smart.
[Dm] Charlie you'll be anything you [Bb] want to from the start.
[G]
Charlie you're my [C] baby.
[A] You'll be a happy [F] pithily.
_ [Bb] Little go on break [C] from this old lonely [F] heart.
_ _ _ I know just how [Dm] you'll be.
Cause you'll be just [F] like me. _
[C] Charming so alarming.
A little [F] crazy. _
_ _ [Bb] The queen of some [C] sand castle.
An [F] abrasive rowdy hassle.
But [C] kind in my being.
Fresh and bright [F] I know. _ _
_ Come to me with problems.
I [Bb] swear I won't go [F] trying to solve.
I'll [A] only tell you literally.
[Gm] The thing I know. _ _ _ _
Like standing [C] tall was all I had.
Like boys [F] are bad and loves are bad.
That no one ever learns.
Just let go.
_ Oh.
_ [Bb]
Charlie you'll be strong.
_ [F] Charlie you'll be [Dm] smart.
Charlie you'll be anything you [Bb] want to from the start.
[G] Charlie you're my baby.
[A] You'll be a happy [Bb] pithily.
Before we meet [F] some lovely spring.
[A] I have to go and find.
[G]
A nice [Dm] mama.
_ _ _ She'll be just like me.
And [Gm] you will be perfect [F] in just what we do.
A luck [C] as strong as father [G] and his daughter.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
Charlie you'll be strong.
[F] _ _ Charlie you'll be smart.
_ [Dm] Charlie you'll be anything you [Bb] want to from the start.
[G] _ Charlie you're [C] my baby.
You'll [A] be a happy pithily.
[Dm] _
Then we'll [Bb] go [C] on and break this old [F] lonely heart.
_ Oh my [Bb] darling child. _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ Oh.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
