"The Killing of Georgie Part I"
(Rod Stewart)
Album ^Ö 
A augmentedA Night on the Town 1976
C majorC 
E minorEm
In these days of changing ways, so called liberated days
FF C majorC
A augmentedA story comes to mind of a friend of mine ....
C majorC E minorEm
Georgie Boy was gay I guess, nothing more or nothing less
FF C majorC
The kindest guy I ever knew ...
C majorC E minorEm
His mothers tears fell in vain, the afternoon George tried to explain
FF C majorC
That he need love like all the rest
C majorC E minorEm
Pa said ^Ñthere must be a mistake^Ò, how can my son not be straight
FF C majorC
After all I^Òve said and done for him?
Chorus:
C majorC E minorEm
Do do, da do do, da do do doo, do do, da do do, da do do doo
FF C majorC
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 augmentedA 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^Òs elite, in all the places that were chic
No party was complete^Å^Å.without George
Along the boulevards he^Òd cruise, and all the old queens blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy^Å.
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^Òm 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 augmentedA 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^Òs head hit a sidewalk corner stone
A augmentedA 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^Å.on fifty third and third
George^Òs life ended there, but I ask who really cares?
George once said to me, and I quote^Å.
He said never wait, or hesitate, get in kid before its too late
You may never get another chance
Cos youth^Òs a mask, but it don^Òt last, live it long and live it fast
Georgie was a friend of mine^Å.
