G5 A5 D5
A B5 F#5 G     x2
A5 D5

[Verse]
D                 Bm
He was always the toughest kid
G                  G
But he never meant no harm
D                 Bm
But looking back I could see his fate
G                  G
Was tatooed on his arm
D                 Bm
Walking through the courtyard
G                  G
Always there to be seen
D                 Bm
He and little Janie
G                  G
Together they were the king and queen
[Chorus]
A5     B5       F#5  G5    A5        D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A   B5    F#5 G5  A5          D
He was the only one, what can we do
A5     B5       F#5  G5    A5        D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A   B5    F#5 G5  A5          D
He was the only one, where is he now

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

[Chorus]
A5     B5       F#5  G5    A5        D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A   B5    F#5 G5  A5          D
He was the only one, what can we do
A5     B5       F#5  G5    A5        D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A   B5    F#5 G5  A5          D
He was the only one, where is he now

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

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

[Chorus]
A5     B5       F#5  G5    A5        D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A   B5    F#5 G5  A5          D
He was the only one, what can we do
A5     B5       F#5  G5    A5        D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A   B5    F#5 G5  A5          D
