[C][E][F]
[C][E][F][G]
[C][E][F]
[Dm][Em][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Hey Charlie, I'm pre[E]gnant
[F]Living on 9th Street
[C]Right above a dir[E]ty bookstore
[F]Off Euclid Avenue
[C]I stopped taking dop[E]e
And I [F]quit drinking whiskey
My [Dm]old man plays the t[Em]rombone
And [F]works out [G]at the [C]track

[Verse 2]
[C]He says that he lov[E]es me
[F]Even though its not his baby
[C]He says that he'll rai[E]se him up
Like he [F]would his own son
[C]He gave me a rin[E]g
That was [Am]worn by his [C]mother
And he [Dm]takes me out [Em]dancin'
Every [F]Satur- [G]day [C]night[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Hey Charlie, I thi[E]nk about you
[F]Every time I pass a fillin' station
[C]On account of all the gre[E]ase
You used to [F]wear in your hair
[C]I still have that rec[E]ord
Of [Am]Little Anthony and The Im[C]perials
But [F]someone stole my record player
Now [G]how do ya like [C]that?[E]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]And hey, Charlie, I almo[C]st went crazy
[Dm]After Mario got bust[Em]ed
[F]I went back to Oma[G]ha
To [C]live with my [E]folks
[Am]But everyone I used [C]to know
Was either [F]dead or in prison
[Dm]So I came back to Minn[Em]eapolis
This [F]time I think I'm gonna [G]stay

[Verse 4]
[C]Hey Charlie, I think I'm hap[E]py
[F]For the first time since my accident
[C]I wish I had all the mon[E]ey
We used to [F]spend on dope
[C]I'd buy me a used car[E] lot
And I [Am]wouldn't sell any of [C]'em
I'd [F]just drive a different [G]car every day
De[F]pendin' on [G]how I [C]feel[G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Hey Charlie[E], for Chris' sakes
[F]if you wanna know the truth of it
[C]I don't have a hus[E]band
[F]He don't play the trombone
[C]I need to borrow mon[E]ey
To [Am]pay this lawyer Charlie, [C]hey
I'll be [F]eligible for parole
Come [G]Valentine's [C]Day
