Rod Stewart
Album: A Night on the Town
Tuning: Capo 3rd Fret
Intro: G Dsus4 C G
GIn these days of changing ways
Dsus4So called liberated days
A Cstory comes to mind of a friend of miGne
GGeorgie boy, was gay I guess
Dsus4Nothin' more or nothin' less
The Ckindest guy I ever knGew
GHis mother's tears fell in vain
Dsus4The afternoon George tried to explain
That Che needed love like all the reGst
GPa said, there must be a mistake
Dsus4How can my son not be straight
AfCter all I've said and done for hGim
(Instrumental G Dsus4 C G)
GLeavin' home on a Greyhound bus
Dsus4Cast out by the ones he loves
A vCictim of these gay days it seGems
GGeorgie went to New York town
Dsus4Where he quickly settled down
And sCoon became the toast of the great white wGay
GAccepted by Manhattan's elite
Dsus4In all the places that were chic
No pCarty was complete without GeGorge
GAlong the boulevards he'd cruise
Dsus4And all the old queens blew a fuse
CEverybody loved Georgie Gboy
GThe last time I saw George alive
Dsus4Was in the summer of seventy-five
He sCaid he was in love, I said I'm pGleased
GGeorge attended the opening night
Dsus4Of another Broadway hype
ButC split before the final curtain fGell
GDeciding to take a short cut home
Dsus4Arm in arm they meant no wrong
A gCentle breeze blew down Fifth AGvenue
GOut of a darkened side street came
Dsus4A New Jersey gang with just one aim
To Croll some innocent passer-Gby
GThere ensued a fearful fight
Dsus4Screams rang out in the night
GCeorgie's head hit a sidewalk cornersGtone
GA leather kid, a switchblade knife
Dsus4He did not intend to take his life
He just Cpushed his luck a little too far that nGight
GThe sight of blood dispersed the gang
Dsus4A crowd gathered, the police came
An Cambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-thGird and Third
GGeorgie's life ended there
Dsus4But I ask, who really cares?
CGeorge once said to me and I qGuote
GHe said, never wait or hesitate
Dsus4Get in kid before it's too late
YCou may never get another chGance
'GCause youth's a mask but it don't last
Dsus4Live it long and live it fast
GCeorgie was a friend of mGine
