[Verse]
G                  C
I was sittin' in a honky tonk
   G
In Texas drinkin' beer
C                   G
Tryin' to find some peace of mind
       A             D    D
From a broken love affair
         C                   G
When she walked right up and said, hey boy,
    B                 Em
You sure look down to me
G        C                    G
  If you got the blues, maybe you could use,
     Am7      D    G
Some feminine company
 
[Chorus]
        C                    G
And her eyes were green like few ain't seen
        Am7          D            G
And her hair was the color of the sun
  C                G
A Leo child with a Texas smile,
  A7                        D
I knew right then, I should run
               C          G
She said, I've lost a few just like you,
    Am7       D        G
You know I've felt the pain
        C
But you can't stay down,
   G                    Am7     D     G
So dance this round and Charley is my name
 
[Solo]
   C         G          Am7            G

[Verse]
 
G                  C                    G       D     G
Needless to say, I spent the night with Charley by my side
    C                 G
The days to come were filled with fun,
      A               D    D
As we took love for a ride
    C                     G
She laughed and cried whenever I'd say,
B              Em
Love is just a game
G     C                       G
  And through her tears she'd say,
             Am7     D     G    G7
I'm real and Charley is my name
 
[Chorus]
        C                    G
And her eyes were green like few ain't seen
        Am7          D            G
And her hair was the color of the sun
  C                G
A Leo child with a Texas smile,
  A7               D    D
I wish I never had run
         C                     G
Now it's down a road that will never end,
Am7           D       G
Somehow, it's not the same
    C                      G
And through my tears I can see her smile
        Am7     D     G
Sayin', Charley is my name
 
[Outro]
     C                      G
Yes, through my tears I can see her smile
        Am7     D        C    G   Am7  D   G
Sayin', Charley    is my name
