Does anyone remember Tony?

     D/G         C/GC/G        G+G
He was a quiet boy, a little overweight, he had breasts like a girl

D/G        C/GC/G     G+G
When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely

D/G        C/GC/G   G+G        D/G    C/GC/G  G+G
I'd stare over his shoulder at a map of the world

     D/G       C/GC/G     G+G
He always finished all his homework

D/G        C/GC/G     G+G
Raised his hand in homeroom

D/G      C/GC/G     G+G
For the morning attendance

    D/G        C/GC/G       G+G
And to pledge allegiance to the gloom

E minorEm  D MajorD       C majorC     G+G
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying

 E minorEm      D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
I think I might do a little dying today

E minorEm      D MajorD        C majorC       G+G
Looked in the mirror saw that little faggot staring back at him

E minorEm      D MajorD    C majorC       G+G
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away

I hated every day of high school
Funny, I guess you did too
Funny how I never knew
There I was sitting right behind you
They wrote it in the local rag
Death comes to the local fag
I guess you finally stopped believing that any hope would ever find you
I knew that story, I was sitting right behind you

Hey Tony, what's so good about dying?
I think I might do a little dying today
He looked in the mirror, saw that little faggot staring back at him
