A Amaj7 D A (x2)
In Athese days of changing ways
Amaj7 So called liberated days
A Dstory comes to mind of a friend of Amine
A Georgie boy, was gay, I guesAmaj7s
Nothin' more or nothin' lessD
The kindest guy I ever knew A
His Amother's tears fell in vain
The Amaj7afternoon George tried to explain
D That he needed love like all theA rest
A Pa' said, "There must be a mistake
Amaj7 How can my son not be straight
D After all I've said and done forA him?"
A Amaj7 D A
A Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
Amaj7 Cast out by the ones he loves
A Dvictim of these gay days it Aseems
A Amaj7 D A
A Georgie went to New York town
Amaj7 Where he quickly settled down
And Dsoon became the toast of the great white Away
A Accepted by Manhattan's elite
In Amaj7all the places that were chic
No Dparty was complete without AGeorge
A Along the boulevards he'd cruise
And Amaj7all the old queens blew a fuse
D Everybody loved GeorgieA boy
A (SiAmaj7ffler laD mélAodie)
The Alast time I saw George alive
Was Amaj7in the summer of seventy-five
He Dsaid he was in love, I said I'm Apleased
A George attended the opening night
Amaj7 Of another Broadway hype
But Dsplit before the final curtain Afell
A Deciding to take a shortcut home
Amaj7 Arm in arm they meant no wrong
A Dgentle breeze blew down Fifth AvenueA
A Amaj7 D A
A Out of a darkened side street came
A Amaj7New Jersey gang with just one aim
To Droll some innocent passer-Aby
A There ensued a fearful fight
Amaj7 Screams rang out in the night
D Georgie's head hit a sidewalk corneArstone
A Aleather kid, a switchblade knife
He Amaj7did not intend to take his life
He just Dpushed his luck a little too far that Anight
A The sight of blood dispersed the gang
maj7
A crowd gathered, the police came
An Dambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-Athird and Third
A Amaj7 D A
A Georgie's life ended there But I ask, "Who really cares?"
Amaj7 But I ask, "Who really cares?"
D George once said to me and IA quote
A He said, "Never wait or hesitate
Amaj7 Get in, kid, before it's too late
You Dmay never get another Achance"
''CA"'ause youth's a mask but it don't last, Amaj7 live it long and live it fast"
D Georgie was a friend ofA mine
