Intro =
[Verse 1]
A Amaj7
In these days of changing ways so called liberated days
D A
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine
A Amaj7
Georgie boy was gay I guess nothing more or nothing less
D A
The kindest guy I ever knew
A Amaj7
His mother's tears fell in vain the afternoon George tried to explain
D A
That he needed love like all the rest
A Amaj7
Pa said there must be a mistake how can my son not be straight
D A
After all I've said and done for him
[Interlude]
A Amaj7 D A
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
[Verse 2]
A Amaj7
Leaving home on a Greyhound bus cast out by the ones he loves
D A
A victim of these gay days it seems
A Amaj7
Georgie went to New York town where he quickly settled down
D A
And soon became the toast of the great white way
A Amaj7
Accepted by Manhattan's elite in all the places that were chic
D A
No party was complete without George
A Amaj7
Along the boulevards he'd cruise and all the old queens blew a fuse
D A
Everybody loved Georgie boy
Interlude (or whistle like Rod!)
A Amaj7 D A
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
[Verse 3]
A Amaj7
The last time I saw George alive was in the summer of seventy-five
D A
He said he was in love I said I'm pleased
A Amaj7
George attended the opening night of another Broadway hype
D A
but split before the final curtain fell
A Amaj7
Deciding to take a short cut home arm in arm we meant no wrong
D A
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue
[Interlude]
A Amaj7 D A
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
[Verse 4]
A Amaj7
Out of a darkened side street came a New Jersey gang with just aim
D A
to roll some innocent passer by
A Amaj7
There ensued a fearful fight screams rang out into the night
D A
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
A Amaj7
A leather kid a switchblade knife he did not intend to take his life
D A
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
A Amaj7
The sight of blood dispersed the gang a crowd gathered the police came
D A
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third
[Interlude]
A Amaj7 D A
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
[Verse 5]
A Amaj7
Georgie's life ended there but I ask who really cares
D A
George once said to me and I quote
A Amaj7
He said never wait or hesitate get in kid before it's too late
D A
You may never get another chance
A Amaj7
'Cos youth's a mask but it don't last live it long and live it fast
D A
Georgie was a friend of mine
Interlude (or whistle like Rod!)
A Amaj7 D A
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
A Amaj7 D A
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
D Amaj7 A D
[Outro]
D Em A D
Oh Georgie stay..don't go away
D Em G A D
Georgie please stay..you take our breath away
D Em A D
Oh Georgie stay..don't go away
D Em G A D
Georgie please stay..you take our breath away
D Em A D
Oh Georgie stay..don't go away
D Em G A D
Georgie Georgie please stay..you take our breath away
