Verse 1
In these (G major) days of changing ways,
so (B minor) -called (G major) liberated days,
a (C major) story comes to mind of
a friend of (G major) mine.
George, a boy, was gay, guess,
(B minor) nothing more, nothing less, (G major)
(C major) the kindest guy I ever knew. (G major)
His mother's tears fell in vain,
(B minor) the afternoon George tried to ex (G major) plain
that (C major) he needed love like all the rest. (G major)
Har said there must be a mistake,
how can my son not be straight,
(C major) after all I've said and done
for him (G major) (C major) (A minor) (G major)
Leaving home on a greyhound bus,
(B minor) cast out by the ones he loves,
(C major) a victim of these gay days it
(G major) seems (B minor) (C major)
(A minor) (G major)
Georgey went to New York town,
where he quickly settled down,
and soon became (C major) the toast
of the great white (G major) way,
accepted by Manhattan's elite,
and all the places that were sheathed.
No party (C major) was com (A minor) plete without George (G major)
Along the Boulevard he grew
And all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody (C major) loved (A minor) Geor (C major) gie
boy (G major) (C major) (A minor)
(C major) (G major)
The last time I saw George alive
Was in the summer of 75
He (C major) said he was in love,
I said I'm pleased (G major) George attended the opening night
of another Broadway height
But split (C major) before the final curtain fell (G major)
Deciding to take a shortcut home,
arm in arm they meant no wrong
A (C major) gentle breeze blew down
Fifth Avenue (G major) (C major)
(G major)
Out of a dark inside street
came a New Jersey gang
With just one aim,
to (C major) roll some innocent passerby (G major)
Daring to the fearful fight
Screams rung out in the night
Judges headed (C major) a sidewalk cornerstone (G major)
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
If he just (C major) pushed his luck
a little too far that (G major) night
The sight of blood dispersed again
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance (C major) screamed to (A minor) a halt
on (C major) 53rd (G major) and 3rd (C major) (A minor) (C major) (G major)
George's life ended there
But I ask, who really cares?
George (C major) once said to me, and I quote, (G major)
He said, wait or hesitate,
Get in gear before it's too late,
You may nev (C major) er get another chance. (G major)
Cause youth's a mask,
but it don't last,
Live it long and live it fast,
(C major) George, he was a friend of (G major) mine.
Okay. (B minor) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (B minor) (C major)
(G major) (B flat major)
(C major) (B flat major) (Gsus4) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
Oh, George, stay (D minor)
Don't (G major) (Gsus4) go away (C major)
Georgie, please (D minor) stay
You'll (Gsus4) take (G major) our breath (C major) away
Oh Georgie stay, (D minor)
don't (Gsus4) (G major) go away (C major)
Georgie please stay, (D minor) (Gsus4)
you'll take our (G major) breath (C major) away
I'll charge (A minor) his (D minor) day (Gsus4)
Don't (G major) call (Gsus4) my (C major) name
I'll charge his (D minor) day (Gsus4) (G major)
You
