Verse 1
Ab
In these days of changing ways,
Cm
Ab
so -called liberated days,
Db
a story comes to mind of
Ab
a friend of mine.
George, a boy, was gay, guess,
Cm
Ab
nothing more, nothing less,
Db
Ab
the kindest guy I ever knew.
His mother's tears fell in vain,
Cm
Ab
the afternoon George tried to explain
Db
Ab
that he needed love like all the rest.
Har said there must be a mistake,
how can my son not be straight,
Db
after all I've said and done
Ab
Db
Bbm
Ab
for him
Leaving home on a greyhound bus,
Cm
cast out by the ones he loves,
Db
a victim of these gay days it
Ab
Cm
Db
seems
Bbm
Ab
Georgey went to New York town,
where he quickly settled down,
Db
and soon became the toast
Ab
of the great white way,
accepted by Manhattan's elite,
and all the places that were sheathed.
Db
Bbm
Ab
No party was complete without George
Along the Boulevard he grew
And all the old queens blew a fuse
Db
Bbm
Db
Everybody loved Georgie
Ab
Db
Bbm
boy
Db
Ab
The last time I saw George alive
Was in the summer of 75
Db
He said he was in love,
Ab
I said I'm pleased George attended the opening night
of another Broadway height
Db
Ab
But split before the final curtain fell
Deciding to take a shortcut home,
arm in arm they meant no wrong
Db
A gentle breeze blew down
Ab
Db
Fifth Avenue
Ab
Out of a dark inside street
came a New Jersey gang
With just one aim,
Db
Ab
to roll some innocent passerby
Daring to the fearful fight
Screams rung out in the night
Db
Ab
Judges headed a sidewalk cornerstone
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
Db
If he just pushed his luck
Ab
a little too far that night
The sight of blood dispersed again
A crowd gathered, the police came
Db
Bbm
An ambulance screamed to a halt
Db
Ab
Db
Bbm
Db
Ab
on 53rd and 3rd
George's life ended there
But I ask, who really cares?
Db
Ab
George once said to me, and I quote,
He said, wait or hesitate,
Get in gear before it's too late,
Db
Ab
You may never get another chance.
Cause youth's a mask,
but it don't last,
Live it long and live it fast,
Db
Ab
George, he was a friend of mine.
Cm
