GGGG
[Verse 1]
GG
Harry Green was my old friend, we met in Spanish class,
GG
helped me out of a spot I was in, he stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass,
GG
stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass.
[Verse 2]
GG
Harry Green was strong and tall, played on a football team,
GG
them good ol’ boys said “you better watch out, he’s not what he would seem,
G
he’s not what he would seem".
[Chorus]
CGDG
Harry Green was allright by me,
CGDGGGG
Harry Green was allright with me.
[Verse 3]
GG
Well, them high school halls can sure get rough when you ain’t like everyone else,
GG
Harry Green had to hold so much deep inside himself,
GG
deep inside himself.
[Verse 4]
GG
Harry Green was middle class, sixteen – he got a new car,
GG
I remember him in the talent show, playin’ on his old guitar,
GG
playin’ on his old guitar.
[Chorus]
CGDG
Harry Green was allright with me,
CGDGGGG
Harry Green was allright by me.
[Verse 5]
GG
It was second-hand news in the middle of the day, sounded like rumour of lie,
GG
a ontiac wrapped around an old oak tree, vehicular suicide,
GG
Harry Green had died.
[Verse 6]
GG
Sometimes I wish I was still a boy with life ahead of me,
GG
one day I’ll go back and say a few words over Harry Green,
G
over Harry Green.
[End-Chorus]
CGDG
Yeah, Harry Green was allright by me,
CGDG
Harry Green was allright by me.
GGGGG
