Charlie, I'll make a deal with you
G5                             C5        C5
after which you can do anything you want to 
F5                   G5        A5                C5
I know I've got the leg up, as you're still only made up 
F5                   G5                 C5
but baby you know I wrote this song for you 

C5                 A5         F5         C5
Don't go kissing boys, don't make a lot of noise 
G5                                   C5      C5
let daddy sing his songs, and be real good 
F5                        G5             A5          C5
just treat your teachers nice and find a healthy appetite
F5                    G5            C5 
for what you really, really want to do 

C5                   A5        F5                C5
And if in fact your married before the day I'm buried
E5                          A5 
follow just my one and only rule
F5                  G5       A5                 C5 
for everything you do just remember through and through 
F5                        G5             C5
be my best friend 'cause i'll be one for you 


F5 
Charlie, you'll be strong 
C5
Charlie, you'll be smart 
A5                              F5
Charlie, you'll be anything you want to from the start 
F5          G5             E5            A5
Charlie, oh my baby, you'll be every bit the lady 
F5                      G5             C5
that'll go on breaking this old lonely heart 


C5                      A5              F5            C5
I know just how you'll be cause you'll be just like me
G5                              C5      C5 
charming, so alarming & a little crazy 
F5                      G5         A5             C5
the queen of some sand castle, an abrasive, rowdy hassle 
F5                    G5               C5
but kind and loving, fresh and bright, I know 

C5               A5          F5                        C5
Come to me with problems, I swear, I won't go try to solve 'em 
G5                             C5     C5
I'll only tell you everything I know 
F5                      G5             A5               C5             
like standing tall was all I had, like boys are bad and love's a fad
F5                G5                C5 
that no one ever learns to just let go 


F5 
Charlie, you'll be strong

A5                              F5

Charlie, oh my baby, you'll be every bit the lady 
F5                      G5             C5
that'll go on breaking this old lonely heart 


C5                         A5           F5                   C5
Charlie, there's just one little thing before we meet some lovely spring 
E5                                   A5
I have to go and you find you a nice momma
F5                   G5         A5              C5 
she'll be just like me and you, perfect in just what we do 
F5                   G5            A5
a love as strong as father and his daughter
