[Verse 1] 
D And I called her Charly,
D She fell out of the sky
D as the winds of July
A were blowing, Charly
 
A All alone in the city,
D town without pity.
A She was fragile,
D yet so pretty.
 [Verse 2] 
D Like a lonely sparrow,
D broken heart, broken fears,
D broken wings, broken dreams,
A I'll call her Charly
 
A She was ready to give
D and, unforgiven,
A only grateful
D to be living.
 [Chorus] 
G Shepherd of loving,
D you were all that I had prayed for,
A all that my heart and soul were made for,
D Oh Charly
G You were and angel,
D born of my imagination,
A my only hope and inspiration,
D Oh Charly
 [Verse 3] 
D Lovely Cinderalla,
D she came back from the cold,
D from my heart, from my soul,
A I love her, Charly.
A With my world built around her,
D could I doubt her,
A or begin to
D live without her?
 [Chorus] 
G Shepherd of loving,
D you were all that I had prayed for,
A all that my heart and soul were made for,
D Oh Charly
G You were and angel,
D born of my imagination,
A my only hope and inspiration,
D Oh Charly
 [Verse 4] 
D And I called her Charly,
D She fell out of the sky
as the winds of July 
A were blowing, Charly
A I was husband and loved her,
D but then my Charly
A spread her wings out
D for another.
 [Chorus] 
G Shepherd of loving,
D you were all that I had prayed for,
A all that my heart and soul were made for,
D Oh Charly
G You were and angel,
D born of my imagination,
A my only hope and inspiration,
D Oh Charly
 [Outro] 
G Shepherd of loving,
D you were all that I had prayed for,
A all that my heart and soul were made for,
D Oh Charly
G You were and angel,
D born of my imagination,
A my only hope and inspiration,
D
