Chords

[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.
