Sophomore ye[D]ar, [A] [G] [G]
you [D]rushed for an a[A]verage of e[G]ight and a third[A] yards per c[D]arry.[A] [G] [G]
[G] All eyes were on y[A]ou.
Junior [D]year[A], [G] [G]
you[D] blew your k[A]nee out at an o[G]ut of town g[A]ame.
[G] Nowhere to go to but [A]down, down, down.
[D]Nothing but the ground left for y[G]ou to fall to.

by Ju[D]ly, [A] [G] [G]
you'd m[D]ade a whole[A] bunch of b[G]rand new f[A]riends,
[G]people you used to look d[A]own on.
And you'd figured o[D]ut [A] a way to m[G]ake real m[G]oney --
givin' [D]ends to your [A]friends, and it [G]felt stu[A]pendous.
[G] chrome spokes on your [A]Japanese bike,
but se[Bb]lling acid was a b[A]ad idea,
and se[D]lling it to a cop was a w[G]orse one.
And the n[D]ew law said that sevent[A]een year olds could do f[D]ederal time.
[G] you were the first one, so I s[D]ing this song for y[G]ou,
[D] William Stanaforth D[G]onahue,
your gr[D]andfather rode the boat o[A]ver from Ireland,
but y[D]ou made a bad dec[G]ision or two.
