Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Author's Note - The E chord that the song is based on goes back and forth with an A chord
and a series of open notes during the transistion (noted as E A).
The strumming pattern is down-up-down-up. There are 3 times when the E chord
stands alone, just before the transistion to Am (noted as just E).

[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A
I'm walking down the highway, see this cat his name was Charlie
E A
He's the kinda guy who always looks the same
E A E
Someone that you've seen on a scene or at a party
Am
Charlie is the kind you know what'll always be
Am
On his own scene, an absolute mystery
[Verse 2]
E A
Sometime later, an uptown nowhere High Street
E A
You can just imagine the wild person I'm about to meet
E A E
Standing on a corner laughing at all the people he meets
Am
Ah, he smiles and politely says "How do you do?"
Am
As you walk away he makes faces after you
[Verse 3]
E A
My baby and I, we've been planning a nice cool weekend
E A
Comes a knock at my door, this guy yells out I'm his friend
E A E
He looks the place over and then tells me that he'll move in
Am
Charlie is the one that all the neighbours stare
Am E
Biblical beard and his long black flowing hair
[Outro]
Am E
