Charlie Freak had but one thing to call his own
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am Emadd9CD
| | |
Three weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stone
Cmaj7 D/C Bm7
Five nights without a bite
Am7 C/G B7sus4
No place to lay his head
Emadd9 G6 C D
And if nobody takes him in
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Am Emadd9 C D

He'll soon be dead

Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD

On the street he spied my face I heard him hail
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD
| | |
In our plot of frozen space he told his tale
Cmaj7 D/C Bm7
Poor man, he showed his hand
Am B7sus4
So righteous was his need ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD

And me so wise I bought his prize For chicken feed
Emadd9

Verse3 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD
| | |
Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD
| | |
Close in spection fast re vealed his favorite kind
Cmaj7 D/C Bm7
Poor kid, he overdid
Am C/G B7sus4
Em braced the spreading haze ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD
| | |
And while he sighed his body died In fifteen ways
Emadd9

Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD
| | |
When I heard I grabbed a cab to where he lay
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9G6 C D Am Emadd9CD

'Round his arm the plastic tag read D. O .A.
Cmaj7 D/C Bm7
Yes Jack, I gave it back
Am C/G B7sus4
The ring I could not own
Emadd9 G6 C D Am Em
How come my friend I'll take your hand and lead you home
