II

(do chords of I)

When I woke up that day

I had luck, I had luck, I had luck

Charline came down my way

With her eyes, with her smile, just for a walk

And she said, don’t you like to be a simple man

With a feel for simple things and daily life

And I said: “Sure I will, oh girl, I like you so. This is all that I want, that I feel.”

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:

E           Bm               A

Then I made a great invention

E       Bm             A

I got rich, I got proud

E         Bm               A

For a few disgusting moments

             Bm              A

I was wrong, I was bad, I’ve been outside

E          Bm                             A

Oh Charline why don’t you hear me

E                   Bm                  A

Can’t you see, I’m still the same

E         Bm          A

I feel cold, I feel lonely

                                              E

And I’m not going on without you

(repeat chorus 2x omitting * last line)
