Intro 1
(C major)
Verse 1
A (C major) wino we called
(F major) Charlie had (C major) a picture
That he wore around his
neck up on a chain (G major)
But you (C major) couldn't see the (F major) face in
Charlie's (C major) picture
Just long brown hair (G major) and a boy in the (C major) frame
We tried and tried to (F major) see old
Charlie's (C major) picture
But we couldn't even
tempt him with the (G major) wine
His shaky (C major) hands (F major) would
tightly grip the (C major) picture
And he'd recite the (G major) poem one more (C major) time
You grace this frame,
the (F major) picture of per (C major) fection
While I'm the perfect
picture of dis (G major) grace
And upon
(C major) Your name I swear (F major) until I'm (C major) worthy
I forbid my eyes to (G major) look upon your (C major) face
Old (A flat major)
(D flat major) Charlie froze to (G flat major) death one
Sunday (D flat major) morning
We found him and I guess
you know the (A flat major) rest
Someone (D flat major) removed the
(G flat major) poor from his (D flat major) picture
And the chilling truth lay
(A flat major) framed upon his (D flat major) chest
As (G flat major) I knelt down beside (D flat major) his body,
the picture lay there before my anxious eye (A flat major) s.
And with (D flat major) trembling lips,
I (G flat major) whispered the words of
(D flat major) Charlie's poem.
As I stared into the (A flat major) face of
Jesus
(D flat major) Christ
You grace this frame,
the (G flat major) picture of perfection (D flat major)
While I'm the perfect
picture of dis (A flat major) grace
And upon (D flat major) your name I (G flat major) swear, until I'm (D flat major) worthy,
I forbid my eyes (A flat major) to look upon your (D flat major) face.
