Charlie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Walk on little [F]Charlie,
walk on through the [G]snow
Moving down the [F]railway line,
trying to make it [G]home
And it's [C]made it forty [Dm]miles,
six hundred left to go
[G]It's a lon[F]g, old,
lonesome jour[Dm]ney
Shuffling through the [G]snow
Lonely as a [F]single star
in the skies above
[G]His father in a mining[F] camp
His mother in the [G]ground
And he's look[C]ing for his [Dm]dad
And he's looking out for [D]love[G]
Just a [F]lost little boy by the
rail[Dm]road track,
moving homeward [G]bound.
He's a -gettin' mighty [F]hungry,
it's been a time since the last he's [G]ate.
And as the night grows [F]colder,
he wonders of his fate.
[G]Or his leg[C]s are wra[Dm]cked with pain
He staggers through the [G]night
As he sees [F]through his troubled [Dm]eye s
His hands are turning [G]white[F][G]
[F][G][C][Dm][D]
[G][F][Dm][G]
Is that the great wind [F]evil
come to look upon my [G]face?
And are the stars exploding
[F]down the misty isle spa[G]ce?
Who's [C]that coming [Dm]down the track,
walking [D]up to [G]me?
Her [F]arms outstretched
and wait[Dm]ing,
waiting just for [G]me
Little Charlie [F]Wenger,
shuffling through the [G]snow
Moving down the [F]railway line,
trying to make it [G]home
And he's [C]made it forty [Dm]miles,
there's a hundred left to [G]go
It's a [F]long, old, lonesome jour[Dm]ney,
shuffling through [G]the snow

[Outro 1]
