Charlie Is A Funny Kid
G C
You’ll Hear The Neighbours Say
Am C
And You Will Never Find Him
D D D
Where The Other Children Play
G D
For Charlie Is A Solitary
G C
Kind Of Little Boy
Am C
The Flowers Are His Playmates
D D
And The Earth His Only Toy
[Chorus 1]
Am D
By The Flickering Television
Am D
Stands A Vacant Chair
Am D
There’s An All Star Show Tonight
Am C
But Charlie Doesn’t Care
G D
And In The Misty Meadow
G C
Where The Daisies Blow
C Am C D7 G
Charlie Is Watching The Flowers Grow
[Verse 2]
G D
Charlie watches life goes by
G C
And dreams a sunny dream
Am C
of field mice in the meadow
D D
grass and tadpoles in the stream
G D
He listens for the cuckoo chimes
G C
and hears the blackbird songs
Am C
for Charlie's got a feeling
D D
that they won't be with us long...
[Chorus 2]
Am D
By The Flickering Television
Am D
Stands A Vacant Chair
Am D
There’s An All Star Show Tonight
Am C
But Charlie Doesn’t Care
G D
And In The Misty Meadow
G C
Where The moonlight glows
C Am C D7 G
Charlie Is Watching The Flowers Grow
[Verse 3]
G D
Charlie's kingdom vanishes
G C
A little every day
Am C
the countryside is shrinking
D D
the mice have moved away
G D
fields and flowers disappear
G C
Before the hand of man
Am C
And Charlie wants to see them all
D D
and touch them while he can...
[Chorus 3]
Am D
By The Flickering Television
Am D
Stands A Vacant Chair
Am D
There’s An All Star Show Tonight
Am C
But Charlie Doesn’t Care
G D
And In The Misty Meadow
G C
Where The stars hang low
C Am C D7 G
Charlie Is Watching The Flowers Grow
