  anyone     remember Tony  . . . . . . . . etc. 

D/G        C/G       G 
Does anyone remember Tony? 

         D/G                 C/G                G 
He was a quiet boy, a little overweight, he had breasts like a girl 

D/G               C/G          G 
When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely 

D/G                C/G     G                D/G       C/G    G 
I'd stare over his shoulder at a map of the world 

          D/G              C/G         G 
He always finished all his homework 

D/G                C/G          G 
Raised his hand in homeroom 

D/G            C/G          G 
For the morning attendance 

       D/G               C/G             G 
And to pledge allegiance to the gloom 

Em    D             C          G 
Hey Tony, what's so good about dying 

  Em            D          C        G 
I think I might do a little dying today 

Em            D               C             G 
Looked in the mirror saw that little faggot staring back at him 

Em           D       C             G 
Pulled out a gun and blew himself away 

I hated every day of high school 
Funny, I guess you did too 
Funny how I never knew 
There I was sitting right behind you 
They wrote it in the local rag 
Death comes to the local fag 
I guess you finally stopped believing that any hope would ever find you 
I knew that story, I was sitting right behind you 

Hey Tony, what's so good about dying? 
I think I might do a little dying today 
He looked in the mirror, saw that little faggot staring back at him 
Pulled out a gun, and blew himself away
