 anyone   remember Tony . . . . . . . . etc.

D/G    C/G    G
Does anyone remember Tony?

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

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

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

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

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

D/G      C/G     G
For the morning attendance

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

Em  D       C     G
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying

 Em      D     C    G
I think I might do a little dying today

Em      D        C       G
Looked in the mirror saw that little faggot staring back at him

Em      D    C       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
