[Intro]
Gm Am7 Bb Bb/C

F    A7
hey Charlie I'm pregnant
Bb9
and living on the 9th street
           F    A7
right above a dirty bookstore
Bb9
off Euclid Avenue
F    A7
and I stopped takin' dope
Bb9
and I quit drinkin' whiskey
      Gm7         F/A
and my old man plays the trombone
       Bb9            Bb/C     F   C11  F
and works out at the track
 F    A7
and he says that he loves me
Bb9
even though it's not his baby
F    A7
and he says that he'll raise him up
  Bb9
like he would his own son
F    A7
and he gave me a ring
   Dm7        F/Eb
that was worn by his mother
   Bb9                 Bb/C
and he takes me out dancin'
    Bb9   C11       F     C11   F  C11
every Saturday night
F    A7
and hey Charlie I think about you
   Bb9
every time I pass a fillin' station
F    A7
on account of all the grease
Bb9
you used to wear in your hair
F    A7
and I still have that record
Dm7      F/Eb
of Little Anthony & the Imperials
Bb9
but someone stole my record player
  C11                             F    C11       F  A7
now how do you like that?
Dm7   F/C
hey Charlie I almost went crazy
Gm7     Fadd9/A
after Mario got busted
Bb9        Bb/C       C7
so I went back to Omaha to
F    A7
live with my folks
Dm7      F/C
but everyone I used to know
      Bb9
was either dead or in prison

Gm7        Fadd9/A
so I came back to Minneapolis
Bb9         Bb/C   C7
this time I think I'm gonna stay

F    A7
hey Charlie I think I'm happy
  Bb9
for the first time since my accident
F    A7
and I wish I had all the money
     Bb9
that we used to spend on dope
F    A7
I'd buy me a used car lot
  Dm7  F/Eb
and I wouldn't sell any of em
      Bb9
I'd just drive a different car
C11         Bb9              C11
every day, dependin' on how I feel
   F    C11         F   C11

F    A7
hey Charlie for chrissakes
Bb9
do you want to know the truth of it?
F    A7
I don't have a husband
Bb9
he don't play the trombone
F    A7
and I need to borrow money
Dm7
to pay this lawyer
  F/Eb
Charlie, hey
Bb9
I'll be eligible for parole
   C11     F
come Valentine's Day
