[Intro]
A5A5 B5B5 F#5F#5
G5G5 A5A5 D5D5
A augmentedA B5B5 F#5F#5 G+G   x2
A5A5 D5D5

[Verse]
D MajorD         B minorBm
He was always the toughest kid
G+G         G+G
But he never meant no harm
D MajorD         B minorBm
But looking back I could see his fate
G+G         G+G
Was tatooed on his arm
D MajorD         B minorBm
Walking through the courtyard
G+G         G+G
Always there to be seen
D MajorD         B minorBm
He and little Janie
G+G         G+G
Together they were the king and queen

[Chorus]
A5A5   B5B5    F#5F#5 G5G5  A5A5    D5D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A augmentedA  B5B5  F#5F#5 G5G5 A5A5     D MajorD
He was the only one, what can we do
A5A5   B5B5    F#5F#5 G5G5  A5A5    D5D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A augmentedA  B5B5  F#5F#5 G5G5 A5A5     D MajorD
He was the only one, where is he now

[Verse]
D MajorD         B minorBm
Three years later at the bus stop
G+G         G+G
I know I'll never forget
D MajorD         B minorBm
He looked smaller and real wasted
G+G         G+G
As he bummed a cigarette
D MajorD         B minorBm
And I asked him what he'd been doing
G+G         G+G
And how's little Janie anyway
D MajorD         B minorBm
Seems he was drunk, They had a fight
G+G         G+G
Janie got hurt and they took him away

[Chorus]
A5A5   B5B5    F#5F#5 G5G5  A5A5    D5D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A augmentedA  B5B5  F#5F#5 G5G5 A5A5     D MajorD
He was the only one, what can we do
A5A5   B5B5    F#5F#5 G5G5  A5A5    D5D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A augmentedA  B5B5  F#5F#5 G5G5 A5A5     D MajorD
He was the only one, where is he now

[Bridge]
B minorBm         A augmentedA
I can still see him standing there
D MajorD      G+G
Just like yesterday
B minorBm      A augmentedA
Leaning on a '56
D MajorD         G+G
Giving his secrets away
B minorBm     A augmentedA
Is it any wonder
D MajorD        G+G
I feel a little lonely
B minorBm        A augmentedA
He's not just the only one
D MajorD        G+G
He's the one and only

[Solo]
A5A5 B5B5 F#5F#5
G5G5 A5A5 D5D5
A augmentedA B5B5 F#5F#5 G+G   x3
A5A5 D5D5

A5A5 B5B5 F#5F#5
G5G5 A5A5 D5D5
A augmentedA B5B5 F#5F#5 G+G   x3
B5B5 A5A5

[Verse]
D MajorD         B minorBm
I heard about the accident
G+G         G+G
There's not much left to say
D MajorD         B minorBm
He wandered out in the middle of the freeway
G+G         G+G
It must have happened right away
D MajorD         B minorBm
And I though about what a shame it was
G+G         G+G
Now that it's all said and done
D MajorD         B minorBm
And it may sound strange, But even now
G+G         G+G
He's still the only one

[Chorus]
A5A5   B5B5    F#5F#5 G5G5  A5A5    D5D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A augmentedA  B5B5  F#5F#5 G5G5 A5A5     D MajorD
He was the only one, what can we do
A5A5   B5B5    F#5F#5 G5G5  A5A5    D5D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A augmentedA  B5B5  F#5F#5 G5G5 A5A5     D MajorD
