[Verse 1]
D G7
He had an eye for pretty women, a taste for good cocaine
D E7 A7
A fool for easy money, a good time was his game
D G7
I never saw him worry, he took it one day at a time
A Gb7 Bm G D A7 D
And lived the way he wanted to until the day he died

[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D D7
Cocaine Charlie, a dealer in ecstasy
A D D7
Cocaine Charlie, the life of the party
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D D7
Now he ain't nothin' but a memory
A Cadd9 G D D7
Cocaine Charlie, a victim of the seventies

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D G7
On the south side of Atlanta in the Escapade Motel
D E7 A7
A sweet young thing from Sandy Springs was under Charlie's spell
D G7
He never heard the pistol cock, he was caught up in romance
A Gb7 Bm G D A7 D
A jealous boyfriend shot him dead, he never had a chance

[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D D7
Cocaine Charlie, a victim of ecstasy
A D D7
Cocaine Charlie, the life of the party, yes, he was
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D D7
Now he ain't nothin' but a memory
A Cadd9 G D D7
Cocaine Charlie, a victim of the seventies, oh Charlie

[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D D7
Cocaine Charlie, a dealer in ecstasy
A D D7
Cocaine Charlie, the life of the party, yeah
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D D7
Now he ain't nothin' but a memory
A Cadd9 G D D7 D
Cocaine Charlie, may he rest in peace
Cadd9 G D D7 D Cadd9 G
Rest in peace, Charles
