Intro

G Dsus4 C G

GIn these days of changing ways

Dsus4 So called liberated days

A Cstory comes to mind of a friend of mGine

GGeorgie boy was gay I guess

Dsus4Nothing more or nothing less

The Ckindest guy I ever kGnew

His mother's tears fell in vain

The afternoon george tried to explain

That he needed love like all the rest

Pa said there must be a mistake

How can my son not be straight

After all I've said and done for him

Instrumental

G Dsus4 C G

Leaving home on a greyhound bus

Cast out by the ones he loves

A victim of these gay days it seems

Instrumental

G Dsus4 C G

Georgie went to new york town

Where he quickly settled down

And soon became the toast of the great white way

Accepted by manhattan's elite

In all the places that were chic

No party was complete without george

Along the boulevards he'd cruise

And all the old queens blew a fuse

Everybody loved georgie boy

INSTRUMENTAL & WHISTLING: G Dsus4 C* G

The last time I saw george alive

Was in the summer of seventy-five

He said he was in love I said I'm pleased

George attended the opening night

Of another broadway hype

But split before the final curtain fell

Deciding to take a short cut home

Arm in arm they meant no wrong

A gentle breeze blew down fifth avenue

Instrumental

G Dsus4 C G

Out of a darkened side street came

A new jersey gang with just one aim

To roll some innocent passer-by

There ensued a fearful fight

Screams rang out in the night

Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone

A leather kid, a switchblade knife

He did not intend to take his life

He just pushed his luck a little too far that night

The sight of blood dispersed the gang

A crowd gathered, the police came

An ambulance screamed to a halt on fifty-third and third

Instrumental

G Dsus4 C G

Georgie's life ended there

But I ask who really cares

George once said to me and I quote

He said never wait or hesitate

Get in kid, before it's too late

You may never get another chance

'cos youth a mask but it don't last

Live it long and live it fast

Georgie was a friend of mine
