Charlie Dunn
Jerry Jeff Walker
Verse 1:
[C] Well if you're ever in Austin Texas
A [F] little run down on your [C] sole
I'm [F] gonna tell you the name of an old [C] man to see
I'm gonna [C7] tell you right where to go [G]
He's [C] working in Capitol Saddlery
He's [F] sewing in the back of the [C] place
His name is [F] Charlie Dunn the little [C] frail one
With the [G] smile and the leathery [C] face
Chorus:
Charlie [F] Dunn, he's the one to [C] see
Charlie [G] done the boots that are on my [C] feet [C7]
It makes [F] Charlie real pleased to see me [C] walkin in these
Charlie [G] Dunn, he's the one to [C] see
Verse 2:
[C] Charlie's been makin boots over there
He says [F] about fifty some odd [C] years
And [F] once you wear a pair of his [C] hand-mades
Boy, you'll [C7] never wear no store-bought [G] pair
[C] Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet
Just by [F] feelin' 'em with his [C] hands
And [F] he can take a look at the [C] boots you wear
And know a [G] whole lot about you, [C] man
Repeat chorus:
Bridge:
And ol' [Am] Buck's up front he's countin' up his gold
[G] Charlie's in the back patchin' up the soles
All the [Am] people comin' in smilin' at him
They [G] all wonder how's ol' [G7] Charlie been
[F] Buck's makin' change but he [G] never ever sees no [C] one [Am]
And he [F] never understood a [G] good thing ol' Charlie [C] done
Instrumental
Verse 3:
[C] Charlie's never had his name on a sign
He [F] don't put a mark in the [C] boot
He [F] just hopes you can [C] remember him
'Bout the [C7] same way that he does [G] you
He [C] keeps your measurements in a little book
So you can [F] order more boots later [C] on
Well [F] I'm writin' down ol' [C] Charlie's size
I'm a [G] makin' him up a [C] song
Repeat chorus:
[F] Buck's up front but he [G] never ever sees no [C] one [Am]
And he [F] never understood a [G] good thing ol' Charlie [C] done
