Chords for Rod Stewart - The Killing Of Georgie (Part I & II) (Official Video)

[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Bb] Oh yeah.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ In these days of changing ways, so called liberated days, [Eb] a story comes to mind [Bb] of a
friend of mine.
_ _ George's boy was gay I guess, nothing more or nothing [Eb] less.
The kindest guy I [Bb] ever knew.
_ His mother's tears fell in vain, the afternoon George tried to explain [Eb] that he needed love
like all [Bb] the rest.
_ Heart says there must be a mistake, how can my son not be straight [Eb] after all I've said
and done [Bb] for him? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Leaving home on a greyhound bus, cast out by the ones he loves, a [Eb] big film of these
gay [Bb] days it seems. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ George he went to New York town where he quickly settled [Cm] down and soon became the toast of
the [Bb] great white wave.
_ _ Accepted by Manhattan's elite and all the places that were chic, [Eb] no party was complete [Bb] without George.
_ _ Along the boulevard he grew and [Dm] all the old queens blew a [Eb] fuse, everybody loved [Bb] George boy. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ The last time I saw George alive was in the summer of 75, [Eb] he said he was in love, [Bb] I said I'm pleased.
_ _ George attended the opening night of another Broadway [Cm] hype that split before the final
[Bb] curtain fell.
_ _ Deciding to take a short cut home, arm in arm they meant no wrong, [Eb] a gentle breeze blew
down 5th [Bb] Avenue. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Out of a dark inside street came a New Jersey gang with just one [Eb] aim, to roll some innocent _ [Bb] passerby.
_ _ There ensued a pitiful fight, screams rolled out in the night, [Eb] George is headed a sidewalk [Bb] cornerstone.
_ A leather kid, a Swiss blade knife, he did not intend to take his [Eb] life, he just pushed
his luck a little too [Bb] far that night.
_ The sight of blood dispersed the gang, a crowd gathered, the police [Cm] came, an ambulance screamed
to halt [Bb] or get the third report. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ George's _ life ended there, but I ask who really cared?
[Eb] George once said to me, [Bb] and I quote, _ he said never wait or [Gm] hesitate, [Bb] get in gear before
it's too [Eb] late, you may never [Bb] get another chance.
_ Cause use a mask but it don't last, live it long and live it [Eb] fast, George he was [Bb] a friend of mine. _ _ _ _ _ _

[Bb] _ _ _ [Fm] don't [Eb] go away, _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ _ _
George [Fm] he may say, _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ you take [Bb] _ [Eb] time to run away.
_ _ Oh _ _ _ _ [Fm] George he said, _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ don't go [Eb] _ away, _ _ _ _ _ _ George he [Fm] may say, _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Bb] you [Eb] take time to run _ away.
_ _ _ _ _ Oh [Fm] George he said, _ _ _ [Bb] _

you take time [Eb] to run away. _ _
