Charlene - I've Never Been to Me
Author And Composer: Kenneth W Hirsch / Ronald N. Miller
F F4 Bb
|
Hey lady, you, lady
|
F/A Gm Gm/F
|
Cursin' at your life
|
Cm Cm/Bb F/A
|
You're a discontented mother
|
Gm Eb
|
And a rich inventive wife
|
Eb F Bb
|
I've no doubt you dream about
|
Bb F/A Gm Gm/F
|
The things you'll never do
|
C
|
But I wish someone had a
|
C F4
|
Talked to me like I
|
F4
|
Wanna talk to you
|
Bb
|
Ooh I've been to Georgia
|
F/A
|
And California
|
Gm Dm
|
Oh, anywhere I could run
|
Eb Bb/D
|
Took the hand of a preacher
|
Cm Cm/Bb
|
Man and we made love
|
F
|
In the sun
|
Bb
|
But I ran out of places and
|
F/A
|
Friendly faces
|
Gm Dm
|
Because I had to be free
|
Eb Bb/D
|
I've been to paradise
|
Cm F4 Bb
|
But I've never been to me
|
F Eb Bb
|
Please lady, please lady,
|
F/A Gm Gm/F
|
Don't just walk away
|
Cm Cm/Bb
|
Cause I have this need to
|
F/A Gm Eb
|
Tell you why I'm all alone today
|
Eb F Bb
|
I can see so much of me still
|
F/A Gm Gm/F
|
Living in your eyes
|
C
|
Won't you share a part of
|
C
|
A weary heart that has
|
F4
|
Lived a million lies
|
Bb
|
Oh I've been to Nice and
|
F/A
|
The isle of Greece
|
Gm Dm
|
While I sipped champagne on a yacht
|
Eb Bb/D
|
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo
|
Cm F4
|
And showed 'em what I've got
|
Bb
|
I've been undressed by kings
|
F/A
|
And I've seen some things
|
Gm Dm
|
That a woman ain't s'posed to see
|
Eb Bb/D
|
I've been to paradise
|
Cm F4 Bb F/Bb
|
But I've never been to me
|
Eb/Bb
|
Hey, you know what paradise is?
|
F/Bb
|
It's a lie
|
Bb
|
A fantasy we create about
|
|
People and places as we'd
|
F/Bb
|
Like them to be
|
Eb/Bb
|
But you know what truth is?
|
F/Bb
|
It's that little baby
|
F/Bb
|
You're holding
|
Bb
|
And it's that man you fought with
|
Bb
|
This morning
|
F/Bb
|
The same one you're going to
|
F/Bb Eb/Bb
|
Make love with tonight
|
F/Bb
|
That's truth, that's love
|
Bb
|
Sometimes I've been to cryin'
|
F/A
|
For unborn children
|
Gm Dm
|
That might have made me complete
|
Eb
|
But I, I took the sweet life
|
Bb/D
|
And never knew I'd be
|
Cm F4
|
Bitter from the sweet
|
Bb
|
I spent my life exploring
|
F/A
|
The subtle whoring
|
Gm Dm
|
That cost too much to be free
|
Eb Bb/D
|
Hey lady, I've been
|
Bb/D Eb Bb/D
|
To paradise
|
Cm F4
|
But I've never been to
|
Bb F/A Gm Dm
|
Me
|
Eb Bb/D Cm
|
I've been to paradise
|
F4 Bb
|
Never been to me
|
Bb
|
I've been to Georgia
|
F/A
|
And California
|
Gm Dm
|
And anywhere I could run
|
Eb Bb/D Cm
|
I've been to paradise
|

While I sipped champagne

On a yacht

Never been to me
