CAPO II
INTRO: D G A7 D D7 G D A7 D D7
CHORUS:
G D
Oh, Charlie could drink you under the table
A7 D D7
Oh, Charlie could sing all night long
G D
Oh, Charlie had fun, but his ramblin' is done
A7 D D7
And this is ol' Charlie's last song
Oh, Charlie would fight once he hit a policeman
They throwed him in jail 'cause that's wrong
When he broke out, the cops took him on home
And ol' Charlie, he played them a song
CHORUS
Oh, Charlie made moonshine for the local bootleggers
Charlie, he had him a still
And the money he made paid for a good banjo
Can't make that wage down at the mill
CHORUS
INTRO
Oh, Charlie could never hold onto a dollar
He got famous but he never got rich
And he never amounted to much of a husband
That banjo playin' son of a b***h
CHORUS
Oh, Charlie once said that he had a black heart
All except a small spot that was red
If he drinks anymore, that red spot will turn black
And old Charlie at last will be dead
CHORUS
INTRO out
