Coastline Charlie
Recorded by Dick Curless
Written by Larry Kingston

C
It's hard for me to remember back 
      F
But I think they named me Charlie Black
    G7                              C
The doctor said I'd die but I lived somehow
G7          C
Now they've changed my name but not my luck 
    F
The Black is gone but Charlie stuck
G7                                     C   G7
Coastline Charlie is what they call me now

      C
I was hatched in Tennessee 
         F
But that didn't mean a thing to me
G7                              C
Soon as I could walk I aimed it south
G7           C
I thumbed my way to New Orleans 
   F
To try my luck with the Cajun queens
    G7                                     C
And Coastline Charlie is what they call me now

     F
Coastline Charlie is my name 
         C
At least that's how they pegged me
      F
And I wouldn't change it back again 
     C                G7
Even if the good Lord begged me
    C
The only place I can be found 
          F
Is on the courtin' side of a Portland town
    G7                                    C
And Coastline Charlie's what they call me now


Yes you could say I'm the rowdy sort 
  F
I got a pet in every port
    G7                         C
And I'll do anything that time allows
G7     C
Up and down the coastal lines 
     F
I've upped and down 'em many a time
    G7                                     C
And Coastline Charlie is what they call me now

G7         C
Now when I die please humor me 
    F
And take my body out to sea
    G7                         C
And drop me in as close as law allows
G7           C
Cause by and by the tide might bring me in 
   F
To shore for one more fling
    G7                                     C
And Coastline Charlie is what they call me now

Repeat #3

    G7                                     C
And Coastline Charlie is what they call me now
    G7                                     C
And Coastline Charlie is what they call me now
