Biography:
Split Enz was one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. Founded in 1972 by Tim Finn and Phil Judd, and with a variety of other members during its existence, eight songs Split Enz were listed in the APRA Top 100 New Zealand Songs of All Time, more than any other band. The band played its final show on 4 December 1984 in Auckland. One-off reunions took place subsequently, with the band reuniting in 1993 for its twentieth anniversary tour and once more for a tour in 2006.

[VERSE 1]
E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
Wake up Charlie, rise and shine
E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
Pour the tea, I'll draw the blind
Eadd9 Am6
Sunlight halo, you look wonderful
Eadd9 Am6
Darling Charlie, pale and deathly still
D7sus4 D E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
For heaven's sake, wake up Charlie
[VERSE 2]
E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
Was a full moon last night, I was full of bravado;
E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
Dead drunk, dead sure, one of us had to go.
Eadd9 Am6
Raised my hand in anger, hurt you again
Eadd9 Am6
Dust to dust, and fire to ashes;
D7sus4 D E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
You can thank me for nothing now, Charlie
[VERSE 3]
E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
I was eaten up with jealousy,
E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
Bones to pick and rumours to feed.
Eadd9 Am6
How my heart bleeds, love's a big mistake.
Eadd9 Am6
Mercy, Charlie, oh for pity's sake
D7sus4 D E6 Em(maj7)add13/F#
Forgive me, speak to me, Charlie!
