[Eb] [Bb]
[Bb]
Charlie, [D] I'm pregnant, [Eb]
living on [Bb] 9th Street, right above a [D] dirty bookstore [Eb] off Euclid Avenue.
[Bb] I stopped taking [D] dope, and I [Eb] quit drinking [Bb] whiskey.
[Cm] [Bb] An old man plays [Eb] the trombone and works out at the track.
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] He says that he [D] loves me, [Eb] even though it's not [Bb] his baby.
He says he's gonna [D] raise him up, just [Eb] like it was his only son.
[Bb] He gave me [D] a ring, it was [Gm] worn by his [F] mother.
[Bb] And he takes me out dancing [F] every Saturday
[Bb] night.
Charlie, I think [D] about you when [Eb] I pass the filling [Bb] station.
On account of all the [D] grease you used to [Eb] wear in your hair,
I
[Bb] still have [D] that record, [Gm] Little Anthony and the
[Eb] Imperials.
Someone stole my record player, how do you like [Bb]
[Dm] [Gm] that?
Charlie, I [Bb] almost went crazy [Eb]
when Mario [Bb] got busted.
[Cm] I [Bb] went back [Eb] to Omaha to live with my folks.
[Gm]
And everyone [Bb] I used to know is either [Eb] dead or [Bb] in prison.
[Cm]
[Bb] Came back to Minneapolis, [F] this time I think I'm gonna stay.
[Bb]
Charlie, I [D] think I'm happy,
[Eb] first time [Bb] since my accident.
I wish I had all [D] that money [Eb] to spend on dope.
Buy [Bb] me a used [D] car lot, then [Gm] I wouldn't sell [Ab] anything.
[Eb]
Drive me a different [F] car every day, depending on how I [Bb] feel.
Hey Charlie, for [D] Christ's sakes, [Eb]
if you wanna know [Bb] the truth of it.
Don't have me [D] a husband, he [Eb] don't play the trombone.
[Bb]
Gotta [D] borrow money to pay [Gm] this lawyer, and Charlie, [Ab] hey.
I'll be [Cm] eligible for parole come Valentine's [F] Day.
