[Verse]
                A#7          B7                        
Hey Charlie I'm pregnant and   living on nineth street
F#             A#7               B7         F#    
  Right above a dirty bookstore off Euclid avenue
                 A#7    B7                   
I stopped taking dope I quit drinking whiskey
G#m7            A#m7               B7               C#sus4 F#   
    My old man plays the trombone   and works out at the track
        A#7              B7                             
He says that he loves me   even though its not his baby
F#         A#7                     B7                          
  He says that he'll raise him up   like he would his own son
F#              A#7           D#m         F#    
  He gave me a ring that was worn by his mother
B7                  C#sus4  C#7       B7       C#sus4 F#   
And he takes me out dancin'    every Saturday       night
            A#7               B7              B      B7      F#     
Hey Charlie I think about you   every time I pass a fillin' station
              A#7                B7                   Bsus4
On account of all the grease you used to wear in your hair 
F#                   A#7       D#m    D#m7          D#m       F#
  I still have that record of Little Anthony & The Imperials  
B7                                    C#sus4                 F#  
  But someone stole my record player       how do you like that
A#7 D#m7                           F#    G#m7                 A#m7  
       Hey Charlie I almost went crazy     after Mario got busted
B7                C#sus4 C#7    F#           A#7  
  I went back to Omaha     to live with my folks
D#m7          F#             B                     B7    
    Everyone I used to know was either dead or in prison
G#m7           A#m7                          B7                C#sus4 C#7
    So I came back to Minneapolis this time I think I'm gonna stay     


[Chorus]
F#     A#7                       B7                                     
  Hey Charlie I think I'm happy   for the first time since my accident
F#                      A#7              B7            Bsus4
  I wish I had all the money we used to spend on dope     
F#7 F#                A#7 D#m            D#m7 D#m       
   I'd buy me a used car lot I wouldn't sell any of 'em
F#7          B7                   C#sus4        B7        C#sus4   F#  
   I'd just   drive a different car every day depending on how I feel
    A#7                          B7                                 
Hey Charlie for Christ's sake do   you want to know the truth of it
F#             A#7     B7                           
I don't have a husband   he don't play the trombone
F#                     A#7             D#m                    F#7
I need to borrow money    to pay this lawyer and Charlie hey   
B7                   B      C#sus4           F# 
I'll be eligible for parole come Valentine's day
