I looked for the chords or tab for this song everywhere, but surprisingly nobody
has put it anywhere on the web. This is what I think it is ^Ц a proper three chorder
- but any corrections or embellishments are welcomed.
"The Killing of Georgie Part I"
(Rod Stewart)
Album ^Ц A Night on the Town 1976
C Em
In these days of changing ways, so called liberated days
F C
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine ....
C Em
Georgie Boy was gay I guess, nothing more or nothing less
F C
The kindest guy I ever knew ...
C Em
His mothers tears fell in vain, the afternoon George tried to explain
F C
That he need love like all the rest
C Em
Pa said ^Сthere must be a mistake^Т, how can my son not be straight
F C
After all I^Тve said and done for him?
Chorus:
C Em
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, do do, da do do, da do do doo
F C
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, doo do
Leaving home on a greyhound bus, cast out by the ones he loved
A victim of these gay days it seems
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, do do, da do do, da do do doo, do do, da
do do, da do do doo, doo do
Georgie went to New York town, where he quickly settled down
And soon became the toast of the great white way
Accepted by Manhattan^Тs elite, in all the places that were chic
No party was complete^Е^Е.without George
Along the boulevards he^Тd cruise, and all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy^Е.
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, do do,da do do, da do do doo, do do da do
do, da do do doo, doo do
The last time I saw George alive, was in the summer of seventy-five
He said he was in love, I said I^Тm 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
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, do do,da do do, da do do doo, do do da do
do, da do do doo, doo do
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
George^Тs head hit a sidewalk corner stone
A leathered 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^Е.on fifty third and third
George^Тs life ended there, but I ask who really cares?
George once said to me, and I quote^Е.
He said never wait, or hesitate, get in kid before its too late
You may never get another chance
Cos youth^Тs a mask, but it don^Тt last, live it long and live it fast
Georgie was a friend of mine^Е.
