Intro:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G

Verse:
D MajorD          G+G
They grew up on the side of town Where the Christmas lights hung all year 'round
     D MajorD
And the sidewalks went un-shoveled
     G+G
And the dogs barked all night long

 D MajorD
They were skinny and they were mean
     G+G
Had parents that were never seen
    D MajorD
Their hair was always longer
     G+G
Their shirts were always tight

Chorus:
     A augmentedA
And we knew we'd never get to know 'em
    D MajorD
And we knew we'd never try
    A augmentedA
Those East Side Boys seemed further from us
   G+G              D MajorD    G+G D MajorD G+G
Than any star that hung up in the sky

Verse:
    D MajorD
Those East Side Boys never seemed to eat
       G+G
They just smoked cigarettes across the street
 D MajorD
Stared down at the sidewalks
 G+G
Came to classes late

    D MajorD
On conference days it was always the same
    G+G
Those east side parents never came
 D MajorD
Never read their stories
       G+G
Saw their artwork on the walls

Chorus:
 A augmentedA
Once we'd hit the high school
 G+G
Around grade nine or ten
  A augmentedA
One by one they'd disappear
      G+G               D MajorD    G+G D MajorD G+G
And we'd never see those East Side boys again

Guitar solo:
A augmentedA G+G A augmentedA G+G G MajorG D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G

Verse:
D MajorD                       G+G
They grew up on the side of town Where the Christmas lights hung all year 'round
      D MajorD
And the sidewalks went un-shoveled
     G+G
And the dogs barked all night long

 D MajorD
No one seemed to know their names
       G+G
They didn't go to Prom or football games
    D MajorD                  G+G
Just wandered through the hallways Like inmates doin' time

Chorus:
    A augmentedA
And we knew we'd never get to know 'em
    G+G
And we knew we'd never try
    A augmentedA
Those East Side Boys seemed further from us
    G+G              D MajorD   G+G D MajorD G+G
Than any star that hung up in the sky
