Carolina Calypso Teclado

	  E                         B                 A                 E 
May I lift your ears that you might hear an old tale that we spin 
E 
Bout the perfect stranger 
     B         A                       E 
His golden box a whole lotta sunshine within 
                   B 
He ran outside and opened it up 
       A                   E 
Saw it carried to the four winds 
       B          A                     E 
That's just about where his old story begins 
E                           B 
It was late one day down in sunny Durham 
         A                         E 
When the stranger stepped from the train 
E                         B 
Unpacked  his sack with a big ol' smile 
A                  E 
Started strumming strong and fair 
     A                        E 
As a crowd turned out at the depot 
           B                    E 
He got it going real good right there 
     B                         E 
Said this one's called the Carolina Calypso 
     B                   A  E 
Kept time with his dusty feet 
B                       E                
Sun like gold above the hickory trees  
          F#                          B 
While his children are dancing in the street 
A         E       B           E 
Carolina Calypso  come see me tonight 
          A                       E 
Let your voice surround me like a thousand arms 
        F#                    B                  
Sing me through the towns and back to the farm 
A         E       B              E 
Carolina Calypso  come see me tonight 
 
SOLO 
 
E                         B 
Come out and see when the time grows ripe 
A                 E 
Honey we're with friends 
E                            B                    A           E 
The moon will rise above the hickory trees like a silver fire again 
E                     B 
If you happen to be a stranger in town  
      A               E 
Might take a friend's advice 
E               B                A               E 
Grap yourself a railroad gal and come with us tonight 
        C#m                         B 
I said kick off your shoes and your downtown blues 
A              E 
Come with us tonight 
B                     E 
Get down one time for Carolina Calypso  
     B                    E 
Keep time with your dusty feet 
    B                           E 
The sky is gonna pale cross the old moss trail 
          F#                          B 
While his children are dancing in the street 
A         E       B           E 
Carolina Calypso  come see me tonight 
         A                         E   
Let your voice surround me like a thousand arms 
         F#                   B                  
Sing me through the towns and back to the farm 
A         E       B           E 
Carolina Calypso  come see me tonight
