Intro 1
(D major) (F sharpdim) (Fdim) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
We used to (D major)
have a little carnival,
it came to our town.
The kids would ride the ride
around the old cash down around.
Down (G major) around the corner
where the preacher would never go.
You'd (D major) always find a rockin' rockin'
hoochie coochie show.
From (A major) up front at the bingo game
you'd hear them hollerin' loud.
Down (G major) around the corners
where you'd (A major) always find the (D major) crowd
(G major) Oh, they al (D major) ways had this cat
with a microphone loud
He'd say, y all jump right up here
and get amongst this crowd
Out (G major) for a step, a gala,
do a dance, or do a song
But (D major) what would thrill the boys
and those they had very little on
(A major) Lipstick smeared from ear to ear,
our lashes fallin' down
Char (G major) lene won the heart away from (A major) me
and my ho (D major) metown (F major)
(G major) Charlene, Charlene,
she's a dancin' thing
She's the star of the show (F major) (F sharp major)
(G major) Charlene, Charlene,
she's a dancin' thing
Now (E minor) (A major) honey, you can go, go,
go (G major) (F major) (D major)
(G major) (D major)
Well, I gave the cat my dollar,
I walked in and I sat down
And seated right beside me
was the mayor of the town
The (G major) chef looking nervous,
the D .A. tried to hide
Then (D major) the curtain opened
and old Charlene stepped outside
She (A major) had more booze than a rattlesnake
just before his fight
Charlie (G major) won the heart away from (A major) me
right there that (D major) night
(F major) Charlie (G major) Charlie
She's a dangerous little thing
She's the star of the show
(F major) Charlie (G major) Charlie
She's a moving machine
(E minor) Now (A major) honey you can go, go, go (G major) (F major) (D major)
Now (G major) when (D major) the thing was over,
I got up and went backstage
My heart was beatin' fast
and my soul was in a rage
I said, (G major) I sure do like the way you look
and the way you move
She said, (D major) thank you country boy,
I kinda like you too
The (A major) next day we got married,
but wouldn't all y 'all know
Char (G major) lene up and ran away
with a (A major) hoochie -coochie (D major) show (F major)
Sharlene, (G major) she's a dancin' thing
She's the star of the show
(F major) Sharle (G major) ne, she's a dancin' thing
Now (E minor) (A major) honey, why did you go? (G major) (D major)
I often wondered
whatever happened to old Charlene
You know, I really should have known
I'd never keep her on the farm
Not after she tasted the stain
I wonder, will she turn around
and come back if I call her
I'm gonna try now
Charlene, Charlene
Come back home, Charlene Charlene
Don't you leave me alone
Sharlene, oh, oh, Sharlene,
won't you hear what I say?
Sharlene, me, Sharlene, oh, Sharlene,
don't be so bad.
Sharlene, babe, you're all I have.
Sharlene, I'm hurt to the bone.
Sharlene, come back home.
You
Charlene
