G                                 G
Harry Green was my old friend, we met in Spanish class,
G                                              G
helped me out of a spot I was in, he stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass,

stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass.

     G                                              G
them good ol’ boys said “you better watch out, he’s not what he would seem,

he’s not what he would seem".

Well, them high school halls can sure get rough when you ain’t like everyone else,
G                               G

deep inside himself.

playin’ on his old guitar.

       G                                          G
It was second-hand news in the middle of the day, sounded like rumour of lie,
  G                                        G
a ontiac wrapped around an old oak tree, vehicular suicide,
G                           G
Harry Green had died.

Sometimes I wish I was still a boy with life ahead of me,
    G                                    G
one day I’ll go back and say a few words over Harry Green,
G
over Harry Green.

Yeah, Harry Green was allright by me,
C     G            D        G
Harry Green was allright by me.
