verse 1 
D       A                D 
Love oh love oh careless love 
D                       A 
Love, love oh careless love 
         D            D7 
You have caused me to weep 
         G 
You have caused me to moan 
          D           A             D 
You have caused me to lose my happy home 

verse 2 
D                   A                  D 
Don't never drive a stranger from your door 
D                                      A 
Don't never drive a stranger from your door 
       D                   D7           G 
It may be your best friend knockin' on your door 
       D                   A                  D 
Then it may be your brother, you will never know 

verse 3 
D                   A                D 
Careless love, look how you carry me down 
D                                    A 
Careless love, look how you carry me down 
    D            D7                       G 
You caused me to lose my mother and she's layin' in six feet of ground 
        D            A                 D 
Carless love I can't let you carry me down 

Verse 4 
D                  A                             D 
Careless love, you drove me through the rain and snow 
D                                                A 
Careless love, you drove me through the rain and snow 
         D          D7                  G 
You have robbed me out of my silver and out of all my gold 
         D            A                D 
I'll be damned if you rob me out of my soul 

Verse 5 
D                 A                D 
You've worried my mother until she died 
D                                   A 
You've caused my father to lose his mind 
     D                     D7             G 
Now damn you, I'm goin' to shoot you and shoot you four five times 
          D           A             D 
And stand over you until you finish dyin'
