[F]hey C[A7]harlie I'm pregnant
[Bb9]and living on the 9th street
right above[F] a dirt[A7]y bookstore
[Bb9]of Euclid avenue
[F]and I[A7] stopped takin dope
[Bb9]and I quit drinkin whiskey
and my[Gm7] old man pla[F/A]ys the trombone
and wor[Bb9]ks out at the t[Bb/C]rack [F] , [C11] , [F]
[F]and he[A7] says that he loves me
[Bb9]even though it`s not his baby
[F]and h[A7]e says that he'll raise him up
li[Bb9]ke he would his own son
[F]and h[A7]e gave me a ring
tha[Dm7]t was worn [F/Eb]by his mother
and[Bb9] he takes me out dan[Bb/C]cin
ever[Bb9]y Satu[C11]rday night.

[F] , [C11] , [F] , [C11]

[F]And h[A7]ey, Charlie, I think about you
eve[Bb9]rytime I pass a fillin station
[F]on acc[A7]ount of all the grease
[Bb9]you used to wear in your hair
[F]and I[A7] still have that record
[Dm7]of Little[F/Eb] Anthony & The Imperials
[Bb9]but someone stole my record player
no[C11]w how do you like that?

[F]live [A7]with my folks
[Dm7]but every[F/C]one I used to know
was ei[Bb9]ther dead or in prison

[Gm7]so I came b[Fadd9/A]ack to Minneapolis
[Bb9]this time I [Bb/C]think I[C7]'m gonna stay.

[F]Hey, Ch[A7]arlie, I think I'm happy
fo[Bb9]r the first time since my accident
[F]and I[A7] wish I had all the money

[F]Hey, Ch[A7]arlie, for chrissakes,

[Bb9]he don't play the trombone
[F]and I[A7] need to borrow money
[Dm7]to pay this lawyer
Ch[F/Eb]arlie, hey,
