The MTA chords
The Kingston Trio
C F
Let me tell you of a story 'bout a man named Charlie
C G7
On a tragic and fateful day.
C F
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family,
C G7 C
Went to ride on the M T A.
C F
But will he ever return? No he'll never return,
C G7
And his fate is still unlearned.
C F
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
C G7 C
He's the man who never returned.
C F
Charlie handed in his dime at the Scully Square Station,
C G7
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
C F
When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel!"
C G7 C
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.
C F
Now all night long Charlie rides through the stations,
C G7
Crying, "What will become of me?
C F
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsey,
C G7 C
Or my brother in Roxbury?"
C F
Charlie's wife goes down to the Scully Square Station,
C G7
Every day at a quarter past two.
C F
And through the open window she hands Charlie his sandwich
C G7 C
As the train goes rumbling through.
C F
Now you citizens of Boston, don't you think it's a scandal,
C G7
How the people have to pay and pay?
C F
Fight the fare increase, vote for George O'Brien,
C G7 C
Get poor Charlie off the M T A!
