Charlie Freak Steely Dan

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
Charlie Freak had but one thing to call his own
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
Three weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stone
[Cmaj7] Five nights wit[D/C]hout a bite [Bm7]
No [Am7]place to [C/G]lay his [B7sus4]head
[Emadd9] And if no[G6]body [C]takes him [D]in
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Am |Emadd9 | C D|
He'll soon be dead
|Emadd9 | | | |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
On the street he spied my face I heard him hail
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
In our plot of frozen space he told his tale
[Cmaj7] Poor man, he [D/C]showed his hand[Bm7]
So [Am]righteous was his [B7sus4]need
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
And me so wise I bought his prize For chicken feed
|Emadd9 | | | |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
Close inspection fast revealed his favorite kind
[Cmaj7] Poor kid, he [D/C]overdid [Bm7]
Em[Am]braced the [C/G]spreading [B7sus4]haze
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
And while he sighed his body died In fifteen ways
|Emadd9 | | | |
|Emadd9 | | | |
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
When I heard I grabbed a cab to where he lay
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Emadd9 G6 C D Am |Emadd9 | C D |
'Round his arm the plastic tag read D. O .A.
[Cmaj7] Yes Jack, I [D/C]gave it back [Bm7]
The [Am]ring I could not [B7sus4]own
[Emadd9]How come my [G6]friend I'll [C]take your [D]hand and [Am]lead you h[Em]ome
