Gpushing thrF#mu' the market square
Em so Cmany mother sighing
A News had just come over
We had fCive yearsG lAmeft to cry in
GNews guy weF#mpt and told us
Emearth Cwas really dying
ACried so much, his face was wet
TChen I kneGw Amhe was not lying.
GI AmheardG telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
I Bmsaw Emboys, toys, electric irons and T.V's
My Abrain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I haCd to cram so many things to store ev'ry thing in there
And Amall the fat skinny people
C And alAml the tall short people
C And all tGhe AmnobGody peoples
C And aGll AmtheD7 somebody peoples
I never tAmhought CI'dG nAmeed so many people
GA girl my age went off her head,
Emhit some tiny children
AIf the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
CI think she would have killed them
GA soldier with a broken arm,
Emfixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
AA cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,
Cand a queer Threw up at the sight of that
G I think i saF#mw you in an ice cream parlor
Em Drinking milkshakes cold and long
A smiling and waving and looking so fine
C Don't think you knew you were in this song
And Git Amwas Gcold, and it rained, so i felt like an actor
F#mAnd i Emthought of Ma, and i wanted to get back there
Your Aface, Your race, the way that you talk
I Ckiss you, you're GbeaAmutiful, I want you to walk. we got

Five GyearBms stuck on my eyes
Emfive years what a surprise we got
Afive years my brain hurts a lot
Cfive years that's all we've got
