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