[C#]Back in sixty, the [B]weight of his work at de [C#]club (oh Ge[B]no)
??? [C#]Jimmy's my scene and the [B]rocksteady rub [C#] (oh [B]Geno)
On a [B]night when flowers didn't [F#m]suit my tune,
After a [B]week of longing, I'm [F#m]back in school,
Ge[B]no is heading the [F#m]crowd that night
A-just a-[B]?????? his ??????? and keeping [F#m]out of the fights.
[A]Academic [E]inspiration, [B]you gave me [F#]none,
[A]You were Mi[E]chael the lover, [B]the fighter that [F#]won,

Oh, the [B]crowd they all hailed you, and [F#m]chanted your name,
But they never [B]knew, like we knew, me and [F#m]you were the same,
And [B]now you're all over, your [F#m]sound is so tame,
Brrrrrr[B]i, you fed me and plainly I'll re[F#m]member your name,
[A]Academic [E]inspiration, [B]you gave me [F#]none,
[A]You were Mi[E]chael the lover, [B]the fighter that [F#]won,
[A]But now just [E]look at me as I'm a-[B]looking down on [F#]you,
