This is my favorite Tom Waits song and one we used to do every time friends and I got together to jam. When we started using Ultimate Guitar rather than my antique, steam powered paper, the versions on UG didn’t quite fit my voice. Also, the other versions seem to miss the third chord (the Em or the 6 chord) in the four-chord progression. For me it works nicely without any 7s or Adds but feel free to embellish however you want. When we play it, we repeat the intro four chord progression as often as needed to get everyone on the same tempo. If you care, this is modeled on the Sharon Little cover of the song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Dave.Esta informação foi útil?

G           B
Charlie I’m pregnant
Em             C
Livin’ over on Ninth Street.
G                B
Up above a dirty bookstore
   Em        C
On Euclid Avenue.
G                B
I stopped takin’ dope
      Em            C
And I quit drinkin’ whisky.
   Am                G
My old man plays the trombone
       C         D      G
And he works out at the track.
 
[Verse 2]
G    B    Em    C
G                   B
And he says that he loves me
     Em                  C
Even though it’s not his baby.
G                       B
He says he’ll raise him up
             Em            C
Just like he would his own son.
G              B
He gave me the ring
        Em           C
that was worn by his mother.
   Am           G
He takes me out dancin’
      C    D   G
Every Saturday night.
 
[Verse 3]
G    B    Em    C
G                    B
Ah, Charlie I think about you
      Em             C
Every time we pass a fillin’ station.
G                      B
On account of all that grease
            Em           C
You used to wear in your hair.
G                    B
And I still got that record
       Em              C
Little Anthony and the Imperials.
Am               G
Someone stole my record player
    C          D    G
Now how do you like that?
 
[Interlude]
G    B    Em    C
    Em                    G
Ah, Charlie I almost went crazy
Am             G
When Mario got busted.
                  C
So I went back to Omaha
   G            B
To live with my folks.
Em             G
But everyone I used to know
           C
Was either dead or in prison.
     Am                G
So I came back to Minneapolis.

This time I think I’m gonna stay.

G    B    Em    C
    G                    B
Hey Charlie, I think I’m happy
        Em                  C
For the first time since my accident.
G                     B
I wish I had all that money
           Em       C
We used to spend on dope.
G                 B
I’d buy me a used car lot
Em                  C
And I wouldn’t sell any of ‘em.
         Am                    G
I’d just drive a different car every day
C            D     G
Dependin’ on how I feel.

Ah Charlie, for Chrissake
Em                   C
You want to know the truth of it?
G              B
I ain’t got no husband.
Em                   C
He don’t play no trombone.
G                B
I need to borrow money
Em              C
To pay for this lawyer
