Company C

Main riff: A On a street corner in Pittsburgh, PA D There’s a tough Irish boy with no dreams A But to be King for one day D And he’s schooled by the older ones A With lessons and the conduct of the streets E D He’s got a mean right cross A And a devastating left hook A He likes to drink and he likes to fight D He likes poppin’ pills and Du-Op A and the boulevard on a Saturday night D And he’s going no where fast A you know he’s happy just staying alive E D But you can always count on Charlie A To be there if you needed him A In a courtroom on a December’s day D The judge said look here son If you wanna play A You’re gonna have to pay D See these rules that you life by A Don’t exist in a civilized world. E D A So I offer you prison, or Vietnam. A You know Charlie, he’s kinda crazy D He just stood there looked at me, A Looked at the judge, straight in the eyes D Said I’d love to fight your honor A And you know I’ve got nothing to lose E D A So send me off to war, I don’t mind. A He spent two years Learning weapons of death D And a year in the jungle A Like an animal where it's k**l or be killed D And the right amount of heroin A Really seems the quiet the bombs E D A Back in Pittsburgh, things are rather calm A Now Charlie, he is my friend D Taught me how to hold my head up A Told me soon that I’d be a man D Says that Agent Orange is calling A And the doctors have done all they can E D Well Charlie, I’m gonna miss you A after you’re gone E D Well Charlie, I’m gonna miss you A after you’re gone E D Well Charlie, I’m gonna miss you A after you’re gone
