Let the man wrap a plan,
said he'd send him home
C#m9 C#m9 
 
But his hope was a rope
and he should've known

Verse 2

Everybody's misused him,
ripped him up and abused him
F#m9 F#m9 
 
An     other junkie plan, pushin' dope for the man

A      terrible blow, but that's how it goes

A- Freddie's on the corner now
C#m9 C#m9 
 
If you want to be a junkie, wow/ Remember Freddie's dead

Verse 3
F#m9 F#m9 
 
We're  all built up with progress
But sometimes I must confess
F#m9 F#m9 
 
We can    deal with rockets and dreams
But reality, what does it mean?
C#m9 C#m9 
 
Ain't  nothing said
C#m9 C#m9 
 
'Cause Freddie's dead
