Charlie And Fred chords by The Hollies

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD
He rides on his horse and cart, Charlie does
 C majorC          D MajorD
Working from six until nine

Collecting old rags and used bicycles
  C majorC           D MajorD
Old iron, description of any kind


D MajorD     C majorC    G+G      D MajorD
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman
        C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred
     C majorC     G+G        D MajorD
Earning a living off things we've discarded
     C majorC       G+G       D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD  G+G
Earning enough for the board and the bed

  D MajorD
You hear him shout, "Rags and old iron!"
C majorC            D MajorD
Everyone knows him that way

Once a week, they come 'round calling
C majorC              D MajorD
How long it's been, I can't say


      C majorC    G+G      D MajorD
Here comes Charlie, Charlie the ragman
        C majorC        G+G      D MajorD
Throw out your old clothes for Charlie and Fred
     C majorC     G+G        D MajorD
Earning a living off things we've discarded
     C majorC       G+G       D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD  G+G
Earning enough for the board and the bed


Bridge:

   E minorEm         C majorC
They live all alone in a hovel
          E minorEm
He puts his money away
           C majorC
Taking enough to just live on
      B minorBm
And at the end of the day
   E minorEm          G+G      A augmentedA
He's saving enough to put Fred out to graze____

  D MajorD
Has anyone seen Charlie lately?
C majorC            D MajorD
Charlie just ain't been around

Everyone's seen Fred is grazing
C majorC             D MajorD
Chewing the grass from the ground


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