[F#] [C#] [F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#] [E]
But it's [G#m] dead, [C#m] that's what I said.
I let the man rep a prayer and said he'd send him home.
But his hope was a rope and he should have known.
[F#m] It's hard to understand there [C#m] was love in this man.
[F#m] I'm sure Paul would agree that his misery was [C#m] his woman and things.
But I'm afraid it's dead, [G#m] that's [C#m] what I said.
[F#m]
Everybody's misused him, [C#m] ripped him off and [F#m] abused him.
Another junket plan, [C#m] pushing [F#m] dope with the man.
A terrible blow but that's how it go.
Fred is on [C#m] the corner now, if you want to be a junkie, well, remember Fred is dead.
[F#m] We're all built up with progress, [C#m] but [F#m] sometimes I must confess we can deal with rockets and dreams.
But reality, what does it [C#m] mean?
Ain't nothing said, [F#m] cause [E] Fred is dead.
[G#] [C#m] Hey, my [G#m] [C#m]
love, hey, [C#m] my dear, [Dm] ha ha, my love, [C#] [Dm] yeah, [Cm] ha [Dm] [C#m]
ha, my [G#m]
dear.
Fred [C#m] is dead.
[A] All [F#m]
[C#m] [F]
[A] I want [F#m] is some peace of mind with the little love I'm trying to [C#m] find.
This could be such a beautiful world [F#m] with a wonderful girl.
Ooh, [F#] I need a [C#m] woman child.
Don't go on the free flights for Eddie now, [F#] cause [C#m] Fred is [E] dead.
Hey, hey, [C#m] yeah, yeah, if you don't try, you're gonna die.
[F#m] Why can't we brothers [C#m] protect one another?
[F#m] No one's serious, and it makes me furious.
[E] Don't be [C#m]
misled, just think of Fred.
[F#m]
Everybody's misused him, ripped him off and abused him.
Another junket plan, pushing dope with the man.
[C#m] Fred is on the corner now, [G#] [C#m] [E] if you want to be a junkie, well, [C#m] remember Fred is dead.
[E] [G#m] [C#m]
[G#m] Hey, my love, hey, my dear, [C#m] [G#m] ha ha, my love, [C#m] [G#m]
yeah, [C#m] [G#m]
ha ha, my dear.
