CAPO: NONE
[Intro]
Oh yBbeahDm Eb Bb
[Verse]
BbIn these days of changing ways
DmSo called liberated days
A stEbory comes to mind of a friend of mBbine
GBbeorgie boy was gay I guess
NoDmthing more or nothing less
The kEbindest guy I ever kBbnew
His mBbother's tears fell in vain
The aDmfternoon george tried to explain
TEbhat he needed love like all the rBbest
BbPa said there must be a mistake
DmHow can my son not be straight
EbAfter all I've said and done for Bbhim
[Instrumental]
Bb[verDmse]Eb Bb

A vEbictim of these gay days it sBbeems

Bb[VerDmse]Eb Bb
GBbeorgie went to new york town
WDmhere he quickly settled down
And sEboon became the toast of the great white Bbway
ABbccepted by manhattan's elite
In Dmall the places that were chic
No Ebparty was complete without GBbeorge
AlBbong the boulevards he'd cruise
And Dmall the old queens blew a fuse
EEbverybody loved Georgie Bbboy
[Instrumental]
Bb[VerDmse]Eb Bb
The lBbast time I saw George alive
Was Dmin the summer of seventy-five
He sEbaid he was in love I said I'm pBbleased
GBbeorge attended the opening night
DmOf another broadway hype
But sEbplit before the final curtain fBbell
DecBbiding to take a short cut home
DmArm in arm they meant no wrong
A gEbentle breeze blew down fifth aveBbnue
[Instrumental]
Bb[VerDmse]Eb Bb
BbOut of a darkened side street came
A DmNew Jersey gang with just one aim
To rEboll some innocent passer-Bbby
TBbhere ensued a fearful fight
ScDmreams rang out in the night
GeEborgie's head hit a sidewalk cornersBbtone
A lBbeather kid, a switchblade knife
He Dmdid not intend to take his life
He just pEbushed his luck a little too far that nBbight
The sBbight of blood dispersed the gang
A cDmrowd gathered, the police came
An Ebambulance screamed to a halt on fBbifty-third and third
[Instrumental]
Bb[VerDmse]Eb Bb
GBbeorgie's life ended there
DmBut I ask who really cares
GEbeorge once said to me and I qBbuote
He said Bbnever wait or hesitate
DmGet in kid, before it's too late
EbYou may never get another chBbance
'Cos yBbouth a mask but it don't last
LDmive it long and live it fast
GEbeorgie was a friend of Bbmine
