Joey pulled hims[A]elf to his feet,[G]
Hauled his body back up the [D]bank
And looked back down [A]there.[G][A]
[A]He said the water was not that d[G]eep;
"But I almost drowned there[D]."
You can drown in a bathtub so they [A]say.[G][A]
[A]"Someone in class called me a l[G]oser,
So I decided to skip the [D]day hey hey - skip the da[A]y.[G][A]
[A]I tried to look casual sneaking round the b[G]ack,
Past the shotput across the trac[D]k
And to the gate beside the porta[A]bles.[G][A]
[A]But a red tie and school gray s[G]lacks
Doesn't blend in with the [D]grass
As the teacher was changing c[A]lass.[G]
[Amaj7]He chased me halfway through the [A7]park,
Till I ran into the [Bm]woods;
And I'm [D]very good [A]in the woods.
[A]So I was an Indian,[G]
Built a fire by the cre[D]ek
And dried my eyes t[A]here.[G]"
[Amaj7]There's a record body count this [A7]year[Bm]
There's a r[D]ecord body c[A]ount this year.
[A]Joey stepped up on a block of ic[G]e,
Put a rope around his n[D]eck,
And fell asleep before he [A]died.
