Version 1 Version 2The MTA chords The Kingston Trio C F Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie C G7 On a tragic and fateful day C F He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family C G7 C Went to ride on the M T A C F But will he ever return? No he'll never return C G7 And his fate is still unlearned C F He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston C G7 C He's the man who never returned C F Charlie handed in his dime at the Scollay Square Station C G7 And he changed for Jamaica Plain C F When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!" C G7 C Charlie couldn't get off of that train A D But will he ever return? No he'll never return A E7 And his fate is still unlearned A D He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston A E7 A He's the man who never returned C F Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations, C G7 Crying, "What will become of me? C F How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea, C G7 C Or my brother in Roxbury?" A D But will he ever return? No he'll never return A E7 And his fate is still unlearned A D He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston A E7 A He's the man who never returned C F Charlie's wife goes down to the Scollay Square Station C G7 Every day at a quarter past two C F And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich C G7 C As the train goes rumbling through A D But will he ever return? No he'll never return A E7 And his fate is still unlearned A D He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston A E7 A He's the man who never returned C F Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal C G7 How the people have to pay and pay? C F Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien C G7 C Get poor Charlie off the M T A! A D But will he ever return? No he'll never return A E7 And his fate is still unlearned A D He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston A E7 A He's the man who never returned Set8 http://sites.google-/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
