You've got yourself a-in a fine mess now,    Charlene 
       Dm                       C       G      Dm        C G
you're either absolutely mad or you are joking, Charlene 

Dm            
Charlene, I'm crying 
C  G             Dm
so close to you, darling 
                      C
we're naked and laughing 
    G            Dm                 C G  
you shine on my battery, Charlene 

Dm                        C     G      Dm       C G
I have always adored your witty mouth, Charlene 
              Dm                  C             Dm
now would you please be very very rude to them, Charlene 

Dm            
Charlene, I'm crying 
C  G             Dm
so close to you, darling 
                      C
we're naked and laughing 
    G            Dm                 C G  
you shine on my battery, Charlene 

>> Keep going till the end of the song <<

Let me get you out of that lake, Charlene 
your dress is red and oh so slippery, Charlene 

I guess I have to dry you 
dress you and comb you 
you're already late 
I'll sort you out 

Charlene, I'm crying 
so close to you darling 
we're naked and laughing 
you shine on my battery, Charlene
