Charlie And Fred chords by The Hollies

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
        C        G      D
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



      C    G      D
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman
        C        G      D
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


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____


Instrumental: D  C  D  C  D  C

  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
