099900           999900   777777                 555555

A strange boy is weaving   a course of grace and havoc


     DACGAD            DACGAD                   DACGAD   DACGAD   DACGAD
     557755            555555                   002200   005500   007700

On a yellow skateboard, through midday sidewalk traffic


DACGAD                 DACGAD              DACGAD                DACGAD
099900                 999900              777777                555555

Just when I think he's foolish and childish and I want him to be manly


  DACGAD            DACGAD                    DACGAD   DACGAD   DACGAD
  557755            555555                    002200   005500   007700

I catch my fool and my child needing love and understanding



DACGAD          DACGAD
555555          557755

What a strange, strange boy


DACGAD                     DACGAD
555555                     557755

Still lives at home with his family


DACGAD               DACGAD   DACGAD           DACGAD   DACGAD
333333               335533   0CCA00           099700   077500

Even the war and the navy     couldn't bring him to maturity


(Last shapes: A=10, B=11, C=12)
