(ver. 1)

 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
