[Verse 1]
[G]hey[B][C][G][Am][B][C][G]
Charley I'm [B]pregnant
[C]and living on 9- th str[G]eet
right above a dirty [B]bookstore
[C]off cuclid avenue
[G]and I stopped taking [B]dope
[C]and I quit drinking [G]whiskey
[Am]and my old m[G]an plays
the [C]trombone
and works out at the [G]track.[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]and he says that he lov[B]es me
[C]even though its not his bab[Gm]y
[G]and he says that he'll [B]raise him up
[C]like he would his own son
[G]and he gave me a [B]ring
[Em]that was worn [C]by his mother
[F][C]
and he takes me out dancin
every [G]saturday nite.

[Verse 3]
and hey Charley I think [B]about you
everytime [C]I pass a fillin' sta[G]tion[C]
[G]on account of all the grease
[B]you used to [C]wear in your hair
[G]and I still have that [B]re cord
of little an[Em]thony & the imperi[F]als
[C]but someone stole my record player
how do you like [G]that?

[Verse 4]
[Em]hey Charley I almost went crazy
[C]after mario got bus[G]ted
[Am]so I [G]went back to [C]omaha to
live with [G]my folks[D]
[Em]but everyone I used to know
[G]was either dea[C]d or in pri[G]son
[Am]so I came [G]back in minneapol[C]is
this time I think I'm gonna stay.

[Verse 5]
[G]hey Charley I think [B]I'm happy
[C]for the first time since [G]my accident
and I wish I had all the [B]money
that we used [C]to spend on dope
[G]I'd buy me a used [B]car lot
and I [Em]wouldn't sell any [F]of em
[C]I'd just drive a different car
every day dependin on how
[G]I feel.[C]

[Verse 6]
[G]hey Charley
[B]for chrissakes
[C]do you want to know
the truth [Gm]of i[G]t?
I don't have a [B]husband
he [C]don't play [G]the trombone
and I need to borrow [B]money
to pay this [Em]lawyer
and Charley, [F]hey
I'll be eligible [Am]for parole
[C]come [D]valentines day.
