Carlene Acordes

	  *Chord changes are really fast in this song, I tried to write them above the  
exact word in the lyric the chord changes at* 
 
Intro: E   A   B <--(3 times) 
       E   A   B  C#m 
       E   A   B 
 
 
E              C#m      A         B 
I was lousy at math, a failed historian 
E       C#m      A      B 
Carlene was the valedictorian 
       E         C#m          A       B 
I was the quarterback in the back of class 
    E            C#m     A          B     E   A   B 
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses 
E                C#m         A          B 
It's been a long time since I've been around 
E               C#m     A        B 
Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground 
E       C#m        A          B 
I ended up by the old school yard 
          E             C#m      A          B 
And this red head pulls up in a blue sports car 
           F#m        E             A              B 
And says, "I bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever." 
F#m        G#m       A           B 
It took a second to put it all together and I said... 

E      B     A 
Ooh la la la la la 
  B      E       A   C#m  B 
Looking good Carlene 
E      B     A 
Woh my my my my my 
B          E      C#m 
Times been good to you 
        A           B 
If you know what I mean 
F#m                    E 
Girl you glitter like Hollywood 
     F#m     G#m

     A        B          E   A   B   C#m   E   A   B

E          C#m          A        B 
She said, ?Hop in let's go for a spin 
         E           C#m            A         B

         E        C#m        A               B 
I said, ?I write songs, you probably didn't know, but I 
E            C#m            A       B     E   A   B 
Finally got a couple out on country radio? 
           E       C#m     A           B 
She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny, I've got a 
E  C#m         A            B 
Ph.D  now I'm modeling for money." 
E        C#m        A       B 
Imagine little miss 4 point 0 just 
E               C#m            A        B 
Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue 
         F#m                           E          A              B 
I said, ?You've come a long way since graduation, let me say without  
reservation 
F#m       G#m          A          B 
You've surpassed everyone's expectations? 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
           C#m                B 
I said, ?I hope to see you again someday? 
            A                    B 
She said, ?Another ten years is too long to wait 
F#m     G#m       A          B 
Pick me up at my momma's at eight? 
 
I said...
