16 Carriages - Beyoncé | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
C#

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G#6
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
      C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
G#6
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
      C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

[Verse 1]
---------------------
   G#6
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to leave my home at an early age
     C#
I saw Mama prayin', I saw Daddy grind
All my tender problems, had to leave behind

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
          G#6
It's been umpteen summers, and I'm not in my bed
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
Goin' so hard, gotta choose myself
Undеrpaid and overwhelmed
C#
I might cook, clеan, but still won't fold
Still workin' all my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
G#6
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
      C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
G#6
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
      C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
                                          C#
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G#6
Sixteen dollars, workin' all day
Ain't got time to waste, I got art to make
     C#
I got love to create on this holy night
They won't dim my light, all these years I fight

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
          G#6
It's been thirtyeight summers, and I'm not in my bed
On the back of the bus in a bunk with the band
Goin' so hard, now I miss my kids
Overworked and overwhelmed
C#
I might cook, clean, but still won't fold
Still workin' all my life, you know
Only God knows, only God knows
Only God knows

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
G#6
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
      C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
On a long back road, all the tears I fight
G#6
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
      C#
To the summer sunset on a holy night
                                          G#6
On a long back road, all the tears I fight

[Bridge (1)]
---------------------
Oh, oh
F# C#/F C# Fm G#6
Oh

[Verse 3]
---------------------
   G#6
At fifteen, the innocence was gone astray
Had to take care of home at an early age
     C#
I saw Mama cryin', I saw Daddy lyin'
Had to sacrifice and leave my fears behind

[Bridge (2)]
---------------------
    A#m
For legacy, if it's the last thing I do
         F#
You'll remember me 'cause we got somethin' to prove
                           C#/F
In your memory, on the highway to truth
G#6                                         C#
Still see our faces when you close your eyes

[Outro]
---------------------
G#6
Sixteen carriages drivin' away
While I watch them ride with my dreams away
