[Intro]
E C D G x2
[Verse]
E C
Read in the paper 'bout a man killed with a sword
D G
And that made my think of my friend George
E C
People said the man was five foot six
D G
Sounds like George with his killing stick
[Chorus]
F C
Hey bro, what's the word
E Am
Talkin' 'bout my friend George
F C
Hey bro, what's the word
E F
Talkin' 'bout my friend George
N.C.
You talkin' 'bout my friend George
[Verse]
E C
I knew George since he's eight
D G
I always thought that he was great
E C
And anything that George would do
D G
You know that I would do it too
E C
George liked music and George liked to fight
D G
He worked out in a downtown gym every night
E C
I'd spar with him when work was done
D G
We split lips but it was all in fun
[Chorus]
F C
Hey bro, what's the word
E Am
You talkin' 'bout my friend George
F C
Hey bro, what's the word
E F
Talkin' 'bout my friend George
N.C.
Talkin' 'bout my friend George
[Verse]
E C
Next thing I hear George's got this stick
D G
He's using it for more than kicks
E C
I seen him down at Smalley's bar
D G
He was wired up, I tried to calm him down
E C
"Avenge yourself" he says to me
D G
"Avenge yourself for humanity
E C
Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
D G
Stick it to these guys right through their heads"
E C
know, the fight is my music, and the stick is my sword
D G
And you know that I love you, so please don't say a word
E C
Can't you hear the music playing, the anthem, it's my call
D
And the last I seen of Georgey was him
G
Running through the door, I says -
[Chorus]
F C
Hey bro, what's the word
E Am
Talkin' 'bout my friend George
F C
Hey bro, what's the word
E F
You talkin' 'bout my friend George
N.C.
Talkin' 'bout my friend George
