RECORD BODY COUNT
A G
Joey pulled himself to his feet,
D
Hauled his body back up the bank
A G A
And looked back down there.
A G
He said the water was not that deep;
D
"But I almost drowned there."
A G A
You can drown in a bathtub so they say.
A G
"Someone in class called me a loser,
D A G A
So I decided to skip the day hey hey - skip the day.
A G
I tried to look casual sneaking round the back,
D
Past the shotput across the track
A G A
And to the gate beside the portables.
A G
But a red tie and school gray slacks
D
Doesn't blend in with the grass
A G
As the teacher was changing class.

He chased me halfway through the park,
Bm
Till I ran into the woods;
D A
And I'm very good in the woods.
A G
So I was an Indian,
D
Built a fire by the creek
A G
And dried my eyes there."
Amaj7 A7 Bm
There's a record body count this year
D A
There's a record body count this year.
A G
Joey stepped up on a block of ice,
D
Put a rope around his neck,
A
And fell asleep before he died.
