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 ^� a proper three chorder

 -  but any corrections or embellishments are welcomed.

 

               "The Killing of Georgie Part I"

                       (Rod Stewart)

               Album ^� 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 ^�there must be a mistake^�, how can my son not be straight

F                                 C

After all I^�ve said and done for him?

 

Chorus:

C                              Em                         

C do, da do do, da do do doo, do do, da do do, da do do doo

F                                   C

C 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

 

C 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^�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^�.

 

C 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^�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

 

C 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^�s 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^�.on fifty third and third

 

George^�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 its too late

You may never get another chance

Cos youth^�s a mask, but it don^�t last, live it long and live it fast

Georgie was a friend of mine^�.
