Verse 1: 
D5
Well if you're ever in Austin Texas 
  G5                       D5
A little run down on your sole 
    G5                                 D5
I'm gonna tell you the name of an old man to see 
          E5                         A5
I'm gonna tell you right where to go  
     D5
He's working in Capitol Saddlery 
     G5                         D5
He's sewing in the back of the place  
            G5                       D5
His name is Charlie Dunn the little frail one 
         A5                      D5
With the smile and the leathery face 

Chorus: 
        G5                     D5
Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see 
        A5                             D5    D5
Charlie done the boots that are on my feet  
         G5                              D5
It makes Charlie real pleased to see me walkin in these 
        A5                     D5
Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see 

Verse 2: 
D5
Charlie's been makin boots over there 
        G5                    D5
He says about fifty some odd years 
    G5                           D5
And once you wear a pair of his hand-mades 
            E5                         A5
Boy, you'll never wear no store-bought pair 
D5
Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet 
        G5                    D5
Just by feelin' 'em with his hands 
    G5                         D5
And he can take a look at the boots you wear 
           A5                    D5
And know a whole lot about you, man 

Repeat chorus: 

Bridge: 
        B5
And ol' Buck's up front he's countin' up his gold 
A5
Charlie's in the back patchin' up the soles 
        B5
All the people comin' in smilin' at him  
     A5                    A5
They all wonder how's ol' Charlie been 
G5                           A5                  D5   B5
Buck's makin' change but he never ever sees no one  
       G5                  A5                      D5
And he never understood a good thing ol' Charlie done 

Instrumental 

Verse 3: 
D5
Charlie's never had his name on a sign 
   G5                       D5
He don't put a mark in the boot 
   G5                  D5
He just hopes you can remember him 
          E5                    A5
'Bout the same way that he does you 
   D5
He keeps your measurements in a little book 
           G5                      D5
So you can order more boots later on 
     G5                    D5
Well I'm writin' down ol' Charlie's size 
       A5               D5
 I'm a makin' him up a song 

Repeat chorus: 
G5                      A5                  D5   B5
Buck's up front but he never ever sees no one  
       G5                  A5                      D5
And he never understood a good thing ol' Charlie done
