 Childhood's end
 Simmons, Thayer, Kulick
 
 [Intro: E-chord faded in and manipulated by volume knob]
 
 [Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]
 [Rhy. fig 1c]
 
 [Rhy. fig 2a]
 I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
 So what, there's nothing left to do
 And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
 As if what I thought mattered much to you
 
 [Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]
 And you were always my friend from Childhood's End
 It was forever and ever
 
 [Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
 Did you understand
 It's Childhood's End
 But never, the dream is over
 
 [Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
 Sunday morning in the New York Times
 I read you died last night
 It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind
 And the note you left behind said:
 
 [Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]
 You were always my friend from Childhood's End
 Seems like forever and ever
 Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend
 It's near the end
 You won't ever be a rock and roller
 
 Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
 But never, the dream is over
 
 [Rhy. fig 4]
 You were just like me
 I was just like you
 For eternity I'll think of you
 
 [Solo over Rhy. fig 1a followed by Rhy. fig 3a]
 [Harmony on bar 5 of solo]
 
 [Rhy. fig 1a & 1b with Riff 1]
 [Rhy. fig 3a & 3b with Riff 1]
 (Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)
 You've got something about you,
 You've got something I need...
