Kinky Friedman — The Ballad Of Charles Whitman

    	    	Вступление

(All standard open chords)

       D
He was sitting up there for more than an hour
 G
Way up there on the Texas Tower
 D                                Em
Shooting from the twenty-seventh floor, yahoo
 D
He didn't choke or slash or slit them
 G
Not our Charles Joseph Whitman
 D              Em             D
He wont be an architect no more

 G
Got up that morning calm and cool
 D                                  Em
He picked up his guns and walked to school
 D                         
All the while he smiled so sweetly
 G
And it blew their minds completely
D                    Em                D
They'd never seen an Eagle Scout so cruel

 D
Now wont you think for the shame and degradation
 G
For the schools administration?
 D                               Em 
He put on such a bold and brassy show
 D
The Chancellor cried, "Its adolescent
 G
And of course its most unpleasant
 D                                 Em       D
But I got to admit it was a lovely way to go"

 G                         D
There was a rumor about a tumor
                          Em
Nestled at the base of his brain
 D
He was sitting up there with his .36 Magnum
 G
Laughing wildly as he bagged em
 D             Em             D
Who are we to say the boys insane?

 D
Now Charlie was awful disappointed
 G
Else he thought he was anointed
 D                             Em
To do a deed so lowdown and so mean
 D
The students looked up from their classes
 G
Had to stop and rub their glasses
 D                      Em          D
Who'd believe he'd once been a Marine

 G                                   D
Now Charlie made the honor roll with ease
                            Em
Most all of his grades was As and Bs
 D
A real rip snorting, trigger squeezer
 G
Charlie proved a big crowd pleaser
 D                          Em             D
Though he had been known to make a couple Cs

 D
Some were dying, some were weeping
 G
Some were studying, some were sleeping
 D                               Em
Some were shouting, Texas number one
 D
Some were running, some were falling
 G
Some were screaming, some were bawling
 D                Em                D
Some thought the revolution had begun

 G
The doctors tore his poor brain down
 D                                   Em
But not a snitch of illness could be found
 D
Most folks couldn't figure just-a why he did it
 G
And them that could would not admit it
 D                     Em               D
There's still a lot of Eagle Scouts around

 G                          D 
There was a rumor about a tumor
                          Em
Nestled at the base of his brain
 D
He was sitting up there with his .36 Magnum
 G
Laughing wildly as he bagged em

 D                       Em
Who are we to say the boys in?
 D                       Em
Who are we to say the boys in?
 D                       Em     D
Who are we to say the boys insane?
