Вступление
[Verse 1]
G C
Let me tell you all the story of a man named Charlie
G D7
On a tragic and fateful day;
G
He put ten cents in his pocket,
C
Kissed his wife and family,
G D7 G
Went to ride on the M. T. A.
[Refrain]
G
But did he ever return?
C
No, he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
[Verse 2]
G
Charlie handed in his dime
C
At the Kendall Square station,
G D7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
G
When he got there the conductor told him,
C
"One more nickel."
G D7 G
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
[Refrain]
G
But did he ever return?
C
No, he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
[Verse 3]
G C
All night long Charlie rides through the station,
G D7
Crying, "What will become of me?
G C
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea
G D7 G
Or my cousin in Roxbury?"
[Refrain]
G
But did he ever return?
C
No, he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
[Verse 4]
G
Charlie's wife goes down
C
To the Scully Square station
G D7
Every day at a quarter past two.
G
And through the open window
C
She hands Charlie a sandwich
G D7 G
As the train comes rumbling through.
[Refrain]
G
But did he ever return?
C
No, he never returned,
G D7
And his fate is still unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
[Verse 5]
G
Now, you citizens of Boston,
C
Don't you think it's a scandal
G D7
How the people have to pay and pay?
G C
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Ryan!
G D7 G
Get poor Charlie off the M. T. A.
[Refrain]
G
Or else he'll never return
C
No, he'll never return,
G D7
And his fate will be unlearned.
G C
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
G D7 G
He's the man who never returned.
