Charlie And Fred Acordes

	  
  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 

 
D          C        G           D 
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman

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

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 



        C  G        D 
Children say Charlie is happy 
         C          G      D 
Giving balloons to the angels instead 
        C      G         D 
Where is Charlie, Charlie the ragman? 
                C           
Don't throw your clothes out
