The Carter Family Carly Simon
The Carter Family - from No Secrets - 1972
[A]The Carter family lived[Em7] next door
[A]For almost 14 ye[Em7]ars
[A]With Gwen and I inseper[Em7]atable
[A]From rag dolls through [Em7]brassieres
[D]Then Gwen began to bo[G7]re me
With her gi[Cmaj7]ggles and her fe[Am7]ars
[Dm7]The day the Carters moved aw[Fmaj7]ay
[G7]I had to fake my te[Cmaj7]ars
[Bm]Oh oh oh[C] oh oh o[G]h
[G]I told[Eb] new friends Gwen C[Bb]arter
[A7]Had become a silly pe[D]st
[G]And then I found I mi[D]ssed her
[C]More th[Cmaj7]an I'd ever have gue[G]ssed
[A]Grandma used to nag at [Em7]me
[A]To straighten up my spi[Em7]ne
[A]To act respectful and r[Em7]ead good books
[A]To take care of what wa[Em7]s mine
[D]I hated being critici[G7]zed
An[Cmaj7]d asking her per[Am7]mission
[Dm7]So what if her advise was wi[Fmaj7]se
[G7]It always hurt to l[Cmaj7]isten
[Bm]Oh oh oh[C] oh oh o[G]h
[G]I didn[Eb]'t cry when Granny [Bb]died
[A7]She made me so depres[D]sed
[G]And then I found I mi[D]ssed her
[C]More th[Cmaj7]an I'd ever have gue[G]ssed
[A]You used to make me moa[Em7]n in bed
[A]But that can't be enoug[Em7]h
[A]My friends complained y[Em7]our jokes were crude
[A]Your manners were too r[Em7]ough
[D]Don't know just what [G7]I wanted
Bu[Cmaj7]t I know I wante[Am7]d more
[Dm7]Someone smooth, present[Fmaj7]able
[G7]To blend with my de[Cmaj7]cor
[Bm]Oh oh oh[C] oh oh o[G]h
[A]And now at night I thin[Em7]k of how
[A]You grinned when you un[Em7]dressed
[A]And I find I miss[Em7] you
[A]More than I'd ever have[Em7] guessed
[G] [A] [Em7]
