Charley's Picture
Porter Wagoner
Album:
[Intro]
C#
C# F# C#
A wino we called Charley had a picture
G#
That he wore around his neck upon a chain
C# F# C#
But you couldn't see the face in Charley's picture
G# C#
Just long brown hair and a poem in the frame
C# F# C#
We tried and tried to see old Charley's picture
G#
But we couldn't even tempt him with the wine
C# F# C#
His shaking hands would tightly grip the picture
G# C#
And he'd recite the poem one more time
C# F# C#
You grace this frame the picture of affection
G#
While I'm the perfect picture of disgrace
C# F# C#
And upon your name I'll swear until I'm worthy
G# C A
I forbid my eyes to look upon your face
[Change Key to D, Step UP]
D G D
Old Charley froze to death one Sunday morning
A
We found him and I guess you know the rest
D G D
Some-one removed the poem from his picture
A D
And the chilling truth lay framed upon his chest
(Spoken ? Same Chord Progression as above)
As I knelt beside his body the picture
Lay there before my anxious eyes
And with trembling lips I whispered the words of Charley's poem
As I stared into the face of Jesus Christ
D G D
You grace this frame the picture of affection
A
While I'm the perfect picture of disgrace
G D
And upon your name I'll swear until I'm worthy
A D
I forbid my eyes to look upon your face
