Chris And Stevie Chords by Damien Dempsey

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] My buddy _ [C] Stevie, I [G] loved him [C] well
_ [G] We had some laugh, he was sound as [Am] a bell
Our little [C] lives, they ran parallel
[Em] _ _ _ He played with fire and got [G] burnt [C] as hell
_ _ [G] _ And I'm remembering little [F] things we [C] done _
We'd bump [G] that train out to the beach and [Dm] the sun
We'd steal [F] some ice pops and laughing [Em] run _
In through the [C] sand _ dunes [F] with finger [C] _ guns
_ [G] _ But one day Stevie _ got bitten by a bug
He was fascinated _ by the life [Dm] of that bug
_ He felt [F] a weakling and he craved [Em] some power
_ But the bug's [C] _ _ existence consumed one sour _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] I'm missing you [Am] today
_ [A] I'm [Am] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] missing you [Am] today
[G] _ _ [Am] _
What I would [G] give to see _ _ you [F] smiling back at _ me
And what [G] I wouldn't do _ for one [F] last laugh with you _
My buddy [C] Chris, he was quite a tough
_ And to [G] his face you wouldn't call [Dm] him a pup _
We'd done [F] the boxing and had [Em] many's to scrap
_ To this [C] young warrior _ [F] I'll tip [C] my cap _ _
[G] _ In [C] Celtic times it [F] wasn't seen [C] as _ wrong
Till the [G] Roman Empire with the shame [Dm] came along
They called this [F] love evil and they done [Em] much harm
But if you're [C] hurting no one [F] you'll be in [C] God's _ [G] arms
Oh Chris [C] and Stevie, _ [F] I miss [C] you both
Two more [G] young people cut down [Dm] from a rope
It breaks [F] my heart that you went [Em] so _ far
Two more [C] young people be proud of who you _ are _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
