Start Jamming...
[F#] [C#] And you're back, [F#] [C#]
[F#] oh, [C#] and you're back
[E]
Hey, la la, hey, ah
But it's [G#m] dead, [C#m]
that's what I said
Let the man rap a prayer and say that he's singing home
But his hope was a rope and he should have known
[F#m] It's hard to understand, [C#m] there was love in this [F#m] man
I'm sure Paul would agree, that his misery was his [C#m] woman and things
Now Freddy's dead, [G#m] that's [C#m] what I said
[F#m]
Everybody's misused him, [C#m] ripped him off and abused [F#m] him
Another junkie plan, [C#m] pushing dope for the [F#m] man
A terrible blow, but that's how it goes
Freddy's on the [C#m] corner now, if you wanna be a junkie, well
Remember Freddy's dead
We're [F#m] all built up with progress, [C#m] but sometimes I must [F#m] confess
We can deal with rockets and dreams, but reality, what does it [C#m] mean?
Ain't nothing sad,
[G#m] cause [C#m] Freddy's dead
[E]
[G#] [E] Hey,
[G#m] [C#m] la la, hey, yeah, yeah
[Dm]
Ha ha, la la, [C] [Dm]
yeah, yeah
Yeah, [E]
[G#m] yeah, yeah, [E] Freddy's dead
[F#m]
[A]
[F] [A]
[F]
[A] All I want is [F#m] some peace of mind, with a little love I'm trying to find
[C#m] This could be such a beautiful [F#m] world, with a wonderful girl
But I need a woman [C#m] child, don't wanna be like Freddy now
[F#] Cause [C#m]
Freddy's dead
[E]
Hey, hey, [C#m]
yeah, yeah
If [E] you don't try, [C#m]
you're gonna die
[B] [C#m]
[F#m] Why can't we brothers [C#m] protect [F#m] one another?
No one's serious, and it makes me furious
[G#m] Don't be misled, just think [C#m] of Fred
Everybody's [F#m]
misused him, [C#m] ripped him off [F#m] and abused him
Another junkie plan, questioned over the man
[C#m] But Freddy's on the corner now, [G#m] if [E] you wanna be a junkie, well
Remember Freddy's dead, [G#m]
[C#m] ha ha, Freddy's dead
[G#m] Hey, hey, hey, [C#m]
[G#m] ha ha
La la, ha ha
[E]
[G#m] Ooh, ooh, ooh
La la
