Charlie Dunn

• D

Verse 1: 
(D) Well if you're ever in Austin Texas 
A (G) little run down on your (D) sole 
I'm (G) gonna tell you the name of an old (D) man to see 
I'm gonna (E7) tell you right where to go (A) 
He's (D) working in Capitol Saddlery 
He's (G) sewing in the back of the (D) place  
His name is (G) Charlie Dunn the little (D) frail one 
With the (A) smile and the leathery (D) face 
Chorus: 
Charlie (G) Dunn, he's the one to (D) see 
Charlie (A) done the boots that are on my (D) feet (D7) 
It makes (G) Charlie real pleased to see me (D) walkin in these 
Charlie (A) Dunn, he's the one to (D) see 
Verse 2: 
(D) Charlie's been makin boots over there 
He says (G) about fifty some odd (D) years 
And (G) once you wear a pair of his (D) hand-mades 
Boy, you'll (E7) never wear no store-bought (A) pair 
(D) Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet 
Just by (G) feelin' 'em with his (D) hands 
And (G) he can take a look at the (D) boots you wear 
And know a (A) whole lot about you, (D) man 
Repeat chorus: 
Bridge: 
And ol' (Bm) Buck's up front he's countin' up his gold 
(A) Charlie's in the back patchin' up the soles 
All the (Bm) people comin' in smilin' at him  
They (A) all wonder how's ol' (A7) Charlie been 
(G) Buck's makin' change but he (A) never ever sees no (D) one (Bm) 
And he (G) never understood a (A) good thing ol' Charlie (D) done 
Instrumental 
Verse 3: 
(D) Charlie's never had his name on a sign 
He (G) don't put a mark in the (D) boot 
He (G) just hopes you can (D) remember him 
'Bout the (E7) same way that he does (A) you 
He (D) keeps your measurements in a little book 
So you can (G) order more boots later (D) on 
Well (G) I'm writin' down ol' (D) Charlie's size 
 I'm a (A) makin' him up a (D) song 
Repeat chorus: 
(G) Buck's up front but he (A) never ever sees no (D) one (Bm) 
And he (G) never understood a (A) good thing ol' Charlie (D) done
