_ _ _ [C] _ _ I [A] went to see a band [E] tonight, and [C] they [Am] wouldn't play my [D] favorite tunes.
[A] It's 2012, [G] but I [A] like the ones from 1992.
There was no place to sit, and god damn it, I couldn't [D] use my phone and [A] fuck up.
The singer didn't joke [F] that we [A] all look like cookie-cutter [A] clones.
And they played too long, [G] and I [A] didn't like it.
[D] I just do words about [A] guys in tennis shoes, [F] a moderate [A] town, yet attractive young girls.
When I get home, I'll [Am] tell you just what I'm gonna do.
[A]
I'm gonna cry me a river [C] when Spruce [A] Lee tattooed blues.
Cry [D] me a river [G] when Spruce [A] Lee tattooed [D] blues.
Cry [A] me a river [F] when Spruce Lee [A] tattooed blues.
Cry me a river when Spruce Lee tattooed blues.
Cry me a river [C] when Spruce Lee [A] _
tattooed blues.
I'm gonna tell you a story here [C] [A] because, well,
[D] it was brought to heck [A] by a guy named Billy who [F] was born with a [A] birth defect.
He was in a wheelchair [G] by the time [D] that he was 36.
He was hunchbacked, his feet, his [G] hands were green, [A] and all turned.
[D] One day, the candy [C] strappers were taking him [D] out of his bed,
and [A] they dropped him by accident.
[F] Within five minutes, [A] he was pronounced dead, and I used to visit him with my [Am] father.
When I [D] was a child, I never saw Billy once when he didn't [G] have the happiest smile.
[A] The happiest smile.
I'll [D] tell you another story here because, you know, well,
what the fuck [A] about a winter's day?
I was in Tennessee, and my friend was out fixing his truck.
The next door neighbor [G] kid was in the woods when a hunter [D] mistook him as a buck.
[A] Shot in the heart, and [F] that was the end of [A] his short run.
Luck [E] was ten years old, and he [Am] never got [D] a chance to fuck [A] her.
But to play guitar [F] or get a tattoo [A] would dwell on the end of that month.
His mother was shattered [G] like a clay disc or a [A] ceramic duck
while all the rest of the world was watching [C] MTV [A] and hating [D] on him.
Cry me a [F] river when Spruce Lee [A] tattooed blues.

_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ [A] I'll tell you another story here about a [Am] tough Colombian [D] kid named Jenny
who [E] sadly only [F] lived to be the young [D] age of [E] 23.
He held the featherweight title, and he was a young man.
[Am] He held the featherweight title back in [Dm] 1995
[E] until he stepped in the ring with [F] Rafael Ruellas, his [Dm] older brother, Gabriel, who died.
He [Em] had the heart of a lion, [F] but was outclassed and dropped in [D] round 11.
Two weeks [E] later, he found [F] himself in [D] Dead [E] Father Heaven.
Jimmy Garcia's [F] mother lost her young son,
[D] but in time she [E] found forgiveness and put her arms [F] around the other's [A] mother and father's son.
She told [E] Gabriel to get [F] back out there, put up [D] his fists, and get in that ring,
and that [E] and him, she would [F] always see it here.
Her [A] beloved son, [E] Jimmy.
You go quack, quack, [F] quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack,
like a [D] little rubber [E] duck, like pathetic wine, [F] sad little child, [A] hater, boy, fuck.
[E] Going on your [F] endless little petty bitch, [D] bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch.
Gliding [E] out of motherfuckers, sleeping [F] in the ditch, sleeping in the streets,
sleeping in [D] your own farm, [E] sleeping in your own piss, sleeping in a pile of pit,
sleeping in a [F] dog, rat, crack, horse [D] shit.
A [E] murder victim, and one of [F] those died for me, or held [A] a skeleton book,
so one of those mentally [E] ill kids was tortured [F] in that statin-on place [D] called Willowbrook.
I was a [E] kid in a basement [F] when her auto repairer [D] broke that [E] story,
and it was those kids being tortured [F] in that institution of [D] stalinism.
They were so fucking great, so [E] we got our legs [F] a-standing.
And [A] I pissed upon the press stays [F] on the cell.
[D] That you've still got your life cadet with a [F] bullet in your head,
and a parking [E] lot and a cancer ward, [F] much earlier than you ever [D] fucking thought.
[E] Crying in the river when his bird's feet [A] tattooed,
_ [E] Crying in the [F] river when his bird's feet [Ab] tattooed,
[Am] _ [D] Crying in the river when his bird's feet [A] tattooed.
_ Crying in the river when his bird's feet tattooed.
