Title: Special Fred

The song is very easy to play and has the same chord pattern throughought
So i shall type it out once (exception for the final verse) without any of the strumming becasue it's easy
to pick up by litenin to the song

INTRO

(Verse 1)

When I was
A Boy Of 10
I had a ver best friend
Fred was kind
With good intent

(Sub Chorus 1)

But just a little different

(Chorus 1)

Special Fred
Momma dropped him on his head
Now he's not so bright instead
He's a little bit special

(Verse 2)

We'd play tag
And he'd get hurt
I'd play soldier
He'd eat dirt
I like math and a spelling bee

(Sub Chorus 2)

Fred like talking to a tree

(Chorus 2)

Special Fred
Momma dropped him on his head
Now she keeps him
In the shed
'Cos he's a little bit special

(Verse 3)

I ran track
Hung out in malls
Fred ran head first
Into walls
I had girls
And lots of clothes

(Sub Chorus 3)

Fred had names for all his toes

(Chorus 3)

Special Fred
Momma dropped him on his head
Now he thinks he's
A piece of bread
'Cos he's a little bit special

(Verse 4, NOW START PLAYING THE MINOR VERSE)

One day talking to special Fred
He grabbed a brick and he swung at my head
And as he laughed at me that's when i knew
That Special Fred

(Sub Chorus 4)

Just made me special toooooooooo

(Verse 5 NOW GO BACK TO PLAYING THE NORMAL VERSE PIECE)

Now I laugh as I count bugs
I give strangers
Great big hugs
Next to me
Fred is fine

(Sub Chorus 5)

He's a Fu**in' Einstein 

(Chorus 5)

Special Fred and me
Now we're not right in the head you see
Now we're not so bright instead
We're a little bit special


(fade out lyrics SING THESE WHEN FADING OUT LIKE STEPHEN DOES)

Just a little bit special

That Bas***d Fred mad me special

Just a little bit special


(and that's it, hope that you enjoyed the TAB)
