Killing of Georgie (Part One and Part Two) (1976) 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
