[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Bb] Oh yeah.
_ _ _ In _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ these days of changing ways, so called liberated days, [Eb] a story comes from mine, a
friend [Bb] of mine.
_ _ Jordan 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 jokes tried to explain [Eb] that he needed love
like all [Bb] the rest. _
Paul 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 [Eb] loves, a victim of these gay
[Bb] days it seems. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
Georgia wins, New York town very quickly settled [Eb] down, soon became the toast of the great [Bb] white
wave, _ _ accepted by Manhattan's elite, in all the places that was she, [Eb] no party was complete [Bb] without George. _ _
Along the boulevard, he'd cruise, and all the old queens threw a [Cm] fuse, everybody loved [Bb] Georgie boy. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
The last time I saw George alive was in the summer of 75, [Cm] he said he was in love, I [Bb] said I'm pleased. _ _
George attended the opening night of another Broadway [Eb] hype that split before the final [Bb] curtain fell. _ _
Deciding to take a shortcut home, on and on they meant no [Eb] wrong, 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 suck in a
stand [Bb] pass or by. _ _
There ensued a fearful fight, screams rung out in the [Eb] night, George is headed a sidewalk [Bb] cornerstone. _ _
Another kid, a swift blade knife, he did not intend to take his life, [Eb] he just pushed his
luck a little too [Bb] far that night. _
The shot of blood dispersed the gang, a crowd gathered, the police [Cm] came, an ambulance screamed
to a halt [Bb] on 53rd and 3rd.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
George's life ended then, but I ask who really cares?
[Eb] George once said to me, [Bb] and I quote, _ he said never wait [Gm] or hesitate, [Bb] get in kids before
it's too late, [Eb] you may never get another [Bb] chance. _
Cause use a mask, but it don't last, live it long and live it [Eb] fast, George was a [Bb] friend of mine. _ _

_ _ Oh [Cm] George [Fm] you stay, _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Fm] don't go [Eb] _ away, _ _ _ _ _ _ judge in [Fm] this case, _ _ _ _ [Ab] you take [Bb]
time [Eb] to run away. _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh George [Fm] you stay, _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Cm] don't [Eb] go away, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ judge in [Fm] this case, _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ you take time [Eb] to run away. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh George [Fm] you stay, _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ don't go [Eb] away, _ _ _ _ _ _ judge [Cm] [Fm] in this _ case, _ [Ab] _ _ you take time [Eb] _
