Charley's Picture
Porter Wagoner
Album:
[Intro]
C#
C#A wino we called ChF#arley had a piC#cture
That he wore around his neck upon a chG#ain
But you coC#uldn't see the fF#ace in Charley's piC#cture
Just long brown hair and a pG#oem in the fC#rame
C#We tried and tried to F#see old Charley's piC#cture
But we couldn't even tempt him with the wG#ine
His shC#aking hands would tiF#ghtly grip the piC#cture
And he'd recite the pG#oem one more tC#ime
C#You grace this frame the piF#cture of afC#fection
While I'm the perfect picture of disG#grace
And uC#pon your name I'll sF#wear until I'm wC#orthy
I forbid my eyes to lG#ook upon your fCace A
[Change Key to D, Step UP]
ODld Charley froze to deGath one Sunday moDrning
We found him and I guess you know the rAest
Some-oDne removed the poGem from his picDture
And the chilling truth lay frAamed upon his chDest
(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
DYou grace this frame the piGcture of afDfection
While I'm the perfect picture of disAgrace
And upon your name I'll swGear until I'm woDrthy
I forbid my eyes to lAook upon your fDace
