[Intro]

[Verse]
            D
Oh I know a place called Good Time Charley's
                                         A7
A little four piece band swingin' out of sight
            D
And I'll be here if you want to party
                                        D
From nine in the morning 'til twelve at night
               G                        D
Two miles from town 'cross the railroad track
                  G                     A7
Turn right at the light and park in the back
              D                            G
You're always welcome don't forget to drop in
              D         A7          D
Old Good Time Charley?s anytime you can
[Instrumental]

D  A7  D  D
                D
Well I've heard talk 'bout a trouble maker
                                        A7
Dropped in one night, but never came a- gain
             D
They said he left with an undertaker
                      A7               D
Old Charley done time two years in the pen
                   G                     D
Well the beat goes on there's a hardwood floor
                 G                        A7
And the sound of laughter runnin' out the door
             D                        G
Wall to wall women plenty of ice-cold beer
                 D     A7              D
And thing you're after you can find it here
               G                        D
Two miles from town 'cross the railroad track
                  G                     A7
Turn right at the light and park in the back
              D                            G
You're always welcome don't forget to drop in
              D       A7          D
Old Good Time Charley anytime you can
              D                            G
You're always welcome don't forget to drop in
              D       A7          D
