Key:
G too shy to get a date
C enlisted in the infantry
F spring of ’68
C the army taught him how to march
G stuck him on a jet
C had him crawling in a tunnel
F C right after tet
C with a flashlight
G C and a 45
C It was a long way to go
G for a boy named charlie
C there were snakes there was jungle
F there was all kinds of gnarly
C fighting somebody
G everybody called charlie
Am a mean kind of joke
F C charlie fighting charlie [Chorus]
Am way down in a tunnel
G where the fallen angels dwell
C there is a quiet young man
F crawling into hell
C G C with a flashlight and a 45
Am charlie fighting charlie
Continues after the ad
F trying to survive
Am charlie fighting charlie
F Dm F C F just to stay alive [Verse]
C he came back home
G drove real fast
C a hopped up super sport
F six speeds of bad ass
C stop light dragging
G fastest thing around
Am F all jacked up and screaming through town
Am G whistling past the grave yard
F coming undone [Interlude]
Am F
Am F
C G C [Verse]
C then he married a good woman
G got a black land farm
C they had a little girl
F daddy’s lucky little charm
C G got a neighbor who served in wwII
C he never said much
F always kind of blue
C always kind of blue
G they'd have a drink or two
C charlie and old man
F same kind of blue [Chorus]
Am way down in a tunnel
G where the fallen angels dwell
C there is a quiet young man
F crawling into hell
C G C with a flashlight and a 45
Am charlie fighting charlie
F trying to survive
Am charlie fighting charlie
F just to stay alive
Am charlie fighting charlie
F trying to survive
Am F charlie fighting charlie [Chorus]
F Am he said the only time
F C he ever felt alive was crawling through a tunnel
F C with a loaded 45
Am charlie fighting charlie
F trying to survive
Am G it was the only time he ever felt
F C F alive
