Chords for The Raconteurs - Carolina Drama - Live at Montreux 2008

[Am] Thank you very much for the Raconteurs from Nashville, Tennessee.
_ And this is the last song. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [A] _ _ Not _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] sure there's a point to [D] this story [A] but I'm going to tell it [Am] again _ _ _ _
_ Like _ _ [A] just about every other [D] tale, [B] something's [Am] gonna die in the [G] end
[Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ It [Am] was a junk [A] house in South [Cm] Carolina held up [Bm] for the [Am] age of [A] ten _
_ Lonely, his only brother Billy [B] and the mother [Am] and her boyfriend
[D] Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos that were given to him when he was young
[Am] And her boyfriend, he went [A] to lose, [C] he got a [B] habit of holding a gun
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] Billy woke up in the back of his truck, he took a minute to open his eyes
_ [D] _ [A] He took a peep into the back of his house, [C] but was there [Am] for a big surprise
[D] He didn't see his brother, but there was his mother with a red-headed head in her hands
[Am] Her boyfriend with his gloves wrapped [C] around that old crease trying to [E] show him the [Am] man _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [A]
He took a minute to [C] open [B] his [Am] eyes, _ _ he [A] saw the red necked bastard with a [C] hammer
Turned a [Ab] piece into a [Am] shell of a man
[D] A piece of pudding at the bottom of the lot, but he was only mean when found to lose
[Am] Her boyfriend hit as hard as he could, knocked [Bm] a piece right down to the [A] chip
[Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ [Am] [A] Her brother knew but never [Am] actually met the piece [A] of lying there on the roof
_ _ He thought himself sad, I must have been [Am] my daddy, then he knew what he was gonna do
[D] He took some fucking nerve, he covered his kid up and got the first cup of pudding he could find
[Am] It was a cold glass bottle of beer that got [C] delivered [B] every morning and [E] night
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _
[B] _ [E] _ [G] _ _ He [F] was a poor man, poor man
_ [B] _ [Am] _ Well _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ he _ _ _ _ _
[A] [Am] put ten of stars of thought on the floor, and he turned around and put the knife on the door
[D] He looked in and [Dm] knew the foreign style, [E] but his mother was too tough to accept [Am] the cry
When he looked instead, he saw the man on the ground, but he was not surprised at all the sound
[D] He [Dm] yelled at her boyfriend, he shouted, get out of [E] here, there's nothing left of this, this is all of mine
[A] [Am] Sweetie, I was attacking your mama, she didn't mean to do a sound of drama
[Dm] A bit of tough head ain't got to say, [E] but a bottle of the rum left his daddy [Am] disgraced
A white male dressed down with the blood, and a poor man fell down dead for good
[D] I'm gonna [Dm] screw the piece of who's got the foot hair, [E] then he shouted, daddy why'd you have to come back here
[A] [Am] His mama reached behind her milk and honey, and poor daddy never looked to feel the money
[D] But daddy [Dm] gave her a secret last few tears, [E] he'd been playing on the field for years
[A] But [Am] his body underneath the trees, daddy was a fucking head of Tennessee
[D] [Dm] Just then a little brother came in, throwing [E] his milk and his hat on the tennis
[A] La la la, [Am] la la la la, yeah, la la la la, la la la la, [D] yeah, la la la la, la la la, [E] yeah
[A] _ [E] _ _

[A] _ _ _ _ _ Well _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ now you've thought another side to the story, but [C] you want to [A] know how it [Am] ends _ _
If _ _ _ _ you must know the truth about the tale, go [Em] and ask the [A] milkman
