ROD STEWART
CAPO: NONE
INTRO:
Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb
Bb Dm Eb Bb
Oh yeah
VERSE:
Bb
In these days of changing ways
Dm
So called liberated days
Eb Bb
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine
Bb
Georgie boy was gay I guess
Dm
Nothing more or nothing less
Eb Bb
The kindest guy I ever knew
Bb
His mother's tears fell in vain
Dm
The afternoon george tried to explain
Eb Bb
That he needed love like all the rest
Bb
Pa said there must be a mistake
Dm
How can my son not be straight
Eb Bb
After all I've said and done for him
INSTRUMENTAL:
Bb Dm Eb Bb
VERSE:
Bb
Leaving home on a greyhound bus
Dm
Cast out by the ones he loves
Eb Bb
A victim of these gay days it seems
INSTRUMENTAL:
Bb Dm Eb Bb
VERSE:
Bb
Georgie went to new york town
Dm
Where he quickly settled down
Eb Bb
And soon became the toast of the great white way
Bb
Accepted by manhattan's elite
Dm
In all the places that were chic
Eb Bb
No party was complete without George
Bb
Along the boulevards he'd cruise
Dm
And all the old queens blew a fuse
Eb Bb
Everybody loved Georgie boy
INSTRUMENTAL & WHISTLING:
Bb Dm Eb Bb
VERSE:
Bb
The last time I saw George alive
Dm
Was in the summer of seventy-five
Eb Bb
He said he was in love I said I'm pleased
Bb
George attended the opening night
Dm
Of another broadway hype
Eb Bb
But split before the final curtain fell
Bb
Deciding to take a short cut home
Dm
Arm in arm they meant no wrong
Eb Bb
A gentle breeze blew down fifth avenue
INSTRUMENTAL:
Bb Dm Eb Bb
VERSE:
Bb
Out of a darkened side street came
Dm
A New Jersey gang with just one aim
Eb Bb
To roll some innocent passer-by
Bb
There ensued a fearful fight
Dm
Screams rang out in the night
Eb Bb
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
Bb
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
Dm
He did not intend to take his life
Eb Bb
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
Bb
The sight of blood dispersed the gang
Dm
A crowd gathered, the police came
Eb Bb
An ambulance screamed to a halt on fifty-third and third
INSTRUMENTAL:
Bb Dm Eb Bb
Bb
Georgie's life ended there
Dm
But I ask who really cares
Eb Bb
George once said to me and I quote
Bb
He said never wait or hesitate
Dm
Get in kid, before it's too late
Eb Bb
You may never get another chance
Bb
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
Dm
Live it long and live it fast
Eb Bb
Georgie was a friend of mine
