Hauled his body back up the Dbank
And looked back down Athere.G  A

You can drown in a bathtub so they Asay.G  A

AI tried to look casual sneaking round the bGack,
Past the shotput across the tracDk 
And to the gate beside the portaAbles.G  A  
ABut a red tie and school gray sGlacks 
Doesn't blend in with the Dgrass
As the teacher was changing cAlass.G

Built a fire by the creDek 
And dried my eyes tAhere.G"

Put a rope around his nDeck,
And fell asleep before he Adied.
