Charlie I'm [A#] pregnant, _ _ _ [B] [F#m] living on 9th Street, _ [F#] _ _ right [A#] above a dirty bookstore, _ [G#] _ [B] _ off Euclid Avenue.
[F#] _ _ _ I stopped [A#] taking dope, [Bm] _ _ [B] and I quit drinking whiskey.
_ [F#m] _ [G#m] My old man [A#m] plays the _ [F#] trombone, [D#] and works [C#] out [F#] at the track. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ He [A#] says that he loves me, _
[B] _ even though it's not his baby.
[G#m] _ [F#] _ _
_ _ He says that [A#] it rests him up, _
[B] like it was on some.
_ [F#m] _ [F#] _
He gave [A#] me a ring, _ [D#m] that was worn by his [F#] mother. _ _
[B] And he [F#m] takes me out [C#] dancing, _ [B] every [C#] Saturday _ [F#] night.
_ [B] _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ Hey [A#] Charlie, I think about you, [B] _ _ every time I pass the filling [F#m] station.
[F#] _ _ _
[A#] I count all the grease, _ [B] you swear in your _ _ [F#m] hand.
[F#] _ _ I steal out [A#] that record, _ _ [D#m] Little Anthony and Imperial.
[F#] _ _ _ [B] Someone stole my record player, _ [F#m] _ _ [C#] how do you like [F#] that?
_ [G#] _ [F#] _ _ _
[A#] _ _ [D#m] _ _ Hey [F#] Charlie, I almost went crazy, _ [G#m] _ _ Mario [A#m] got busted.
[G#] _ [F#] _ [B] _ [F#m] I 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] _ _
Came back [A#m] to Minneapolis, [B] this time [F#m] I think I'm gonna _ [B] stay.
[C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ Hey Charlie, I [A#] think I'm happy, _
[B] _ for the first time since my accident.
_ [F#m] _
[F#] _ I wish I [A#] 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 [F#] on how I feel.
[B] _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Hey [A#] Charlie, for God'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 [A] play the [B] trombone.
_ I [F#] _ _
need [A#] the ball money, _ _ [D#m] to pay this lawyer, _ Charlie Hay.
[F#] _ _ _
[B] I'll be eligible for parole, _ _ [F#m]
come [C#m] _ _ _ Valentine's _ [F#]
Day. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
