The M T A Song Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Let me Ctell you of a story 'bout a Fman named Charlie

 On a Ctragic and fateful G7day.

 He put Cten cents in his pocket, kissed his Fwife and family,

 Went to Cride on the G7M T CA.

 But will he Cever return? No he'll Fnever return,

 And his Cfate is still unG7learned.

 He may Cride forever 'neath the Fstreets of Boston,

 He's the Cman who G7never reCturned.

 Charlie Chanded in his dime at the FScully Square Station,

 And he Cchanged for Jamaica G7Plain.

 When he Cgot there the conductor told him, "FOne more nickel!"

 Charlie Ccouldn't get G7off of that Ctrain.

 Now Call night long Charlie Frides through the stations,

 Crying, "CWhat will become of G7me?

 How Ccan I afford to see my Fsister in Chelsey,

 Or my Cbrother in G7RoxbuCry?"

 Charlie's Cwife goes down to the FScully Square Station,

 Every Cday at a quarter past G7two.

 And Cthrough the open window she hands FCharlie his sandwich

 As the Ctrain goes G7rumbling Cthrough.

 Now you Ccitizens of Boston, don't you Fthink it's a scandal,

 How the Cpeople have to pay and G7pay?

 Fight the Cfare increase, vote for FGeorge O'Brien,

 Get poor CCharlie off the G7M T CA!
