Charlie And Fred

  (D)
He rides on his horse and cart, Charlie does
(C)                   (D)
Working from six until nine

Collecting old rags and used bicycles
   (C)                      (D)
Old iron, description of any kind


CHORUS:
D          C        G           D
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman
               C               G           D
Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred
          C          G               D
Earning a living off things we've discarded
         C             G             D    G   D   G
Earning enough for the board and the bed


    D
You hear him shout, "Rags and old iron!"
C                       D
Everyone knows him that way

Once a week, they come 'round calling
C                           D
How long it's been, I can't say


CHORUS:
           C        G           D
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman
               C               G           D
Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred
          C          G               D
Earning a living off things we've discarded
         C             G             D    G   D   G
Earning enough for the board and the bed


BRIDGE:
     Em                  C
They live all alone in a hovel
                   Em
He puts his money away
                      C
Taking enough to just live on
           Bm
And at the end of the day
     Em                   G           A
He's saving enough to put Fred out to graze____

    D
Has anyone seen Charlie lately?
C                        D
Charlie just ain't been around

Everyone's seen Fred is grazing
C                          D
Chewing the grass from the ground

Giving balloons to the angels instead
