Carla Came Home

Intro: Am 


[Verso 1]
 
              Am 
Well, there's crying in the kitchen, there's running in the hall 
                          C 
Daddy's Winchester wasn't hanging on the wall 
    G                             F 
And it didn't seem like Christmas  very much at all 

Interlude: Am 


[Verso 2]
 
Am 
Mama set me to choppin' wood before the snow 
                                               C 
She said, "Daddy's gone to Richmond and that's all you need to know" 
         G                                  F 
I said, "I want to know why Carla' got that blood on her clothes"

  Carla came home,  middle of the night 
Am           F      D 
  Sunglasses on and tears in her eyes 
C            G              F 
  Carla came home but not just for Christmas time 

Interlude: Am

When Carla met Tom Walker, Daddy said, "He ain't no count" 
                                            C 
He'd grab his gun and go hunting when she'd bring him to the house 
  G                                  F 
Now something tells me Tom Walker is out of the picture now

Am 
 Well, they quit searching for my brother-in-law 
                     C 
Gave him a week then they called in the dogs 
            G                          F 
Well, there won't nobody miss him 'cept  maybe his ma
