The story I.. wrote as a kid.....
So yea... I felt so scared
Watching the flames crayon red...
This.... Kid.... Hung on me too
So I had to hide in a
Church...Just me..........and the town..mayor
and his son who was handi-
capped who wouldn't be quiet... unless
his dad would sing him a.....song
So yea... It wasn't long before
they found out just where we were....
But...
I wasn't mad...... at that kid at
All.... I just..
Felt so sad....when his dad said...
Goodnight Boy..... Go to sleep Boy
Shutup... Boy ....for me
Goodnight Boy..... Go to sleep Boy
Shutup....Boy.......for me
He repeats the last 8 measures a few times and ends on G with "The troops rush in."
There you go. When I play it alone on guitar I substitute a D/Ffor the Gmaj7...It
sounds better...he might actually play something different at that part, it's hard to tell
the organ over it.
Anyways, enjoy!
