Jerry Jeff Walker - Charlie Dunn guitar chord

Charlie Dunn

by Jerry Jeff Walker

Verse 1:

(D) Well if you're ever in Austin Texas

A (G) little run down on your (D) sole

I'm (G) gonna tell you the name of an old (D) man to see

I'm gonna (E7) tell you right where to go (A)

He's (D) working in Capitol Saddlery

He's (G) sewing in the back of the (D) place

His name is (G) Charlie Dunn the little (D) frail one

With the (A) smile and the leathery (D) face

Chorus:

Charlie (G) Dunn, he's the one to (D) see

Charlie (A) done the boots that are on my (D) feet (D7)

It makes (G) Charlie real pleased to see me (D) walkin in these

Charlie (A) Dunn, he's the one to (D) see

Verse 2:

(D) Charlie's been makin boots over there

He says (G) about fifty some odd (D) years

And (G) once you wear a pair of his (D) hand-mades

Boy, you'll (E7) never wear no store-bought (A) pair

(D) Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet

Just by (G) feelin' 'em with his (D) hands

And (G) he can take a look at the (D) boots you wear

And know a (A) whole lot about you, (D) man

Repeat chorus:

Bridge:

And ol' (Bm) Buck's up front he's countin' up his gold

(A) Charlie's in the back patchin' up the soles

All the (Bm) people comin' in smilin' at him

They (A) all wonder how's ol' (A7) Charlie been

(G) Buck's makin' change but he (A) never ever sees no (D) one (Bm)

And he (G) never understood a (A) good thing ol' Charlie (D) done

Instrumental

Verse 3:

(D) Charlie's never had his name on a sign

He (G) don't put a mark in the (D) boot

He (G) just hopes you can (D) remember him

'Bout the (E7) same way that he does (A) you

He (D) keeps your measurements in a little book

So you can (G) order more boots later (D) on

Well (G) I'm writin' down ol' (D) Charlie's size

I'm a (A) makin' him up a (D) song

Repeat chorus:

(G) Buck's up front but he (A) never ever sees no (D) one (Bm)

And he (G) never understood a (A) good thing ol' Charlie (D) done
