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
