[C]
Carol, [D] let me tell you what I [Em] heard about a man today.
[F] He didn't come home from work [C] and he went away.
[Em] [Dm]
Till he came [C] to a city
[F] bright [G] in the night [C] time like day.
There they say he met up [Dm] with some women dressed in yellow [Em] and scarlet.
[F] Their warm lips like a [C] honeycomb dripped with honey.
[Dm] And something about the smell [C] of strange perfume made [Dm]
him feel [G] warm and [C] not alone.
Yes, Carol, a man [F] will do that sometimes on his [C] own, sometimes [G] [C] when he's lonely.
I believe a man might [F] do that sometimes out of [C] spite.
But Carol, a man will [G] do that always when [F]
he's treated [C] bad at home.
