Straight on 'til morning, my little friend
           Bb            F
There's an island called Never Land
      Bb        F            D
Where childhood dreams never end
 
[Chorus]
Em               A
Farewell, Never, Never Land
Em               A           Em

[Verse]
     G            D             C                 D         G
Some kids playing baseball in a vacant lot in New York City
        D                 C      D
Found a body lying in the weeds
    G              D              C                D
The voice of Peter Pan, the cabin boy in 'Treasure Island'
G           D             C               D  G
Momma never told me Peter Pan could bleed
 
[Verse]
        D             C    D
No one identified the body
     G                  D                C           D
They buried him in an unmarked, potter's field grave
     G             D           C           D
From Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Chino state prison
G               D           C             D
Oh, what a holy noise Bobby Driscoll made
  Am                            D         G
Adventures in the Hollywood skin trade
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         D              C            D  G
Whatever happened to Bobby Driscoll?
         D                C     D  G
Whatever happened to Peter Pan?
         D                    C
Whatever happened to the cabin boy
          D            Em
Young Jim Hawkins, oh?
 
[Chorus]
                 A           Em
Farewell, Never, Never Land
                 D         D/C D/B D/A
Farewell, Never, Never Land
 
[Verse]
     G           D                C             D     G
When Walt Disney terminated Bobby Driscoll's contract
          D          C  D            G
Oh, Bobby got the blues, he screamed
        D                C                D
"Nobody terminates Peter Pan, uncle Walt"
        G               D              C              D
Then he started walking backwards in a junkie's shoes
 
[Verse]
 G                        D
'Song Of The South', 'The Happy Time'
 C                       D
'Treasure Island', 'When I Grow Up'
G              D                          C    D
Bobby Driscoll played the hell out of 'em all
    G           D                  C        D
The first child actor to move to Topanga Canyon
    G            D         C  D
The first one to take a fall
    Am                      D    G
Ah, Bobby really hit the wall
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         D              C            D  G
Whatever happened to Bobby Driscoll?
         D                C     D  G
Whatever happened to Peter Pan?
         D                    C
Whatever happened to the cabin boy
          D            Em
Young Jim Hawkins, oh?
 
[Chorus]
                 A           Em
Farewell, Never, Never Land
                 D         D/C D/B D/A
Farewell, Never, Never Land

My old man bought us a ranch in Topanga Canyon
            G          D                   C        D  G
Bought me a broke-down thoroughbred named, My Chief
               D              C             D           G
That crazy old racehorse died tangled up in barbed wire
             D                      C           D               G
Sort of like Bobby Driscoll and the entire age, don't ya think?
 
[Verse]
      D                 C            D             G
I saw Bobby hangin' out near Topanga Canyon Market
             D                 C          D
Tell you the truth he looked a trifle stoned
             G
I went up to him and said
      D                     C                   D
"Gee, Bobby, you were great in Treasure Island"
             G                 D                  C     D
He snarled, "Go away, kid, and leave me the hell alone"
       Am                                 D            G
Like a dog and I was gonna take away his bone, tell me
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         D              C            D  G
Whatever happened to Bobby Driscoll?
         D                C     D  G
Whatever happened to Peter Pan?
         D                    C
Whatever happened to the cabin boy
          D            Em
Young Jim Hawkins, oh?
 
[Chorus]
Em               A
Farewell, Never, Never Land
Em               A           Em
Farewell, Never, Never Land
                 D
Farewell, Never, Never Land
