       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
