Earning a [C]living off [G]things we've dis[D]carded
Earning e[C]nough for the [G]board and the [D]bed [G] [D] [G]

You [D]hear him shout, "Rags and old iron!"
[C]Everyone knows him that [D]way

Once a week, they come 'round calling
[C]How long it's been, I can't [D]say


[CHORUS]
Here comes [C]Charlie, [G]Charlie the [D]ragman
Throw out your [C]old clothes for [G]Charlie and [D]Fred

Taking enough to just [C]live on
And at the [Bm]end of the day
He's [Em]saving enough to put [G]Fred out to [A]graze____
