Charlie Freak by Steely Dan
Charlie Freak
Em Am Em Am
Em G Am Em
Charlie Freak had but one thing to call his own
Em G Am Em
Three weight ounce pure golden ring no precious stone
C D
Five nights without a bite
Em Am G
No place to lay his head
Em G Am
And if nobody takes him in
D Em
He'll soon be dead
Em G Am Em
On the street he spied my face I heard him hail
Em G Am Em
In our plot of frozen space he told his tale
C D
Poor man, he showed his hand
Em Am G
So righteous was his need
Em G Am
And me so wise I bought his prize
For chicken feed
Em G Am Em
Newfound cash soon begs to smash a state of mind
Em G Am Em
Close inspection fast revealed his favorite kind
C D
Poor kid, he overdid
Em Am G
Embraced the spreading haze
And while he sighed his body died
In fifteen ways
Em G Am Em
When I heard I grabbed a cab to where he lay
Em G Am Em
'Round his arm the plastic tag read D.O.A.
C D
Yes Jack, I gave it back
Em Am G
The ring I could not own
Em G Am
Now come my friend I'll take your hand
D Em
And lead you home
