_ _ _ _ _ Charlie [A#] I'm pregnant, _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
living off 9th Street, _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ right [A#] above a dirty _ bookstore, _ _ [G#] _
[B] _ _ _ off Euclid _ Avenue.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
I stopped taking [A#] dope, _ [Bm] _
_ _ [B] and I quit drinking whiskey.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [G#m] _
My old man plays [A#m] the _ _ trombone, [F#] _ _ [D#] works _ [C#] out at [F#] the track. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Says [A#] that he loves _ me, _ _
[B] _ _ even though it's not his baby.
_ [G#m] _ [F#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ He says that [A#] it rests him up, _ _ _ [B] like it was his own son.
[F#m] He _ [F#] _
_ _ _ gave me [A#] a ring, _ _ that [D#m] was _ worn by his [F#] mother. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] And he takes me [F#m] out _ [B] _ [C#] dancing, _ _ _ [B] every _ _ [C#] Saturday _ _
[F#] night.
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And [A#] Charlie I think about you, _ [B] _ _ _ _
every time I pass the filling _ [F#] station.
_ _ _ _ _ And I count [A#] all the grease, _ _ _ [B] you swear in your _ [E] hand.
_ [F#m] I _ [F#] _ _ _ _
still have [A#] that _ record, _
_ _ [D#m] Little _ [F#] Anthony and _ _ Imperials. _ _ _
_ [B] _ Someone stole my record player, _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[C#] how do you like [F#] that? _ _
_ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
_ And Charlie [F#] I almost went _ crazy, _ [G#m] _ _ after Mario got [A#m] busted.
_ [G#] _ _ [F#] I [B] _ _ _ [F#m] went back to _
[C#] Omaha, _ _ _ [F#] to live with my _ [A#] _ folks. _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
Everyone _ [F#] I used to know, _ was either _ [B] dead or in prison.
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _
[G#m] _ _ So I came back [A#m] to Minneapolis, _ _ _ this [B] time I think I'm gonna [F#m] stay.
[B] _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
Charlie I [A#] think I'm happy, _ _ [B] _
the first time since my accident.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
I wish [A#] I had all the money, _ we [B] used to spend on dope. _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ Buy me a [A#] used car lot, _ _ _ [D#m] I wouldn't sell any of them.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] I just drive [F#m] a different [C#] car every _ day, _ [D#] _
depending on [F#] how I feel.
_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [A#] Charlie for Christ's sake, _ [B] _ _ if you want to know the truth of it.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ I don't have [A#] a husband, _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ he don't play the _ trombone. _ _ _
I _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
need the ball [A#] money, _ _ _
_ _ [D#m] _ pay this lawyer, _ _ Charlie Hay.
_ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [B] I'll be eligible for parole, _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ come _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] Valentine's _ _ Day. _
