^GBut did he ever return? No, he n^Cever returned, And his f^Gate is still unlearn^D7ed He may r^Gide forever 'neath the s^Ctreets of Boston He's the ^Gman who ^D7never returne^Gd

^GCharlie handed in his dime At the K^Cendall Square Station And he change^Gd for Jamaica P^D7lain When he ^Ggot there the conductor told him "^COne more nickel" Charlie ^Gcouldn't get ^D7off that tr^Gain

Now a^Gll night long Charlie r^Cides thru the station Saying, "^GWhat will become of ^D7me? How can ^GI afford to see my s^Cister in Chelsea Or my ^Gcousin in R^D7oxbur^Gy?"

^GCharlie's wife goes down to ^CScollay Square Station Every ^Gday at a quarter past ^D7two And thu the ^Gopen window she hands ^CCharlie a sandwich As the ^Gtrain comes ru^D7mblin' t^Ghru

^GNow you citizens of Boston, don't you t^Chink it is a scandal That the ^Gpeople have to pay & ^D7pay Fight the ^Gfare increase, vote for ^CWalter O'Brien And get ^GCharlie off the ^D7M.T.A^G.!
