Verse 1:

------------------------------------------

now let me tell you a story about my youth

when i was a boy scout

ringing the bell at a mature lady's door

known to be generous

it was love at first sight, her eyes were shining so bright

she smiled at me and asked: "what's your cause?"

i'm collecting dough, for the sunday show

Verse 2:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

i will never forget, the pretty babe i met

when i was at high school

i was carrying her books every day after class

we were always together

the moment had come, for me to meet her mom

she smiled at me and asked: "what's your name?"

i could see it was her, it all began to blur

(Play chorus)

Solo (2 gtrs. arr. for 1):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

There seems to be a second guiat low in the mix (in addition to

the rhythm guitar), so I've made the best facsimilie of the solo.

Verse 3:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

we all lived together for a long, long time

me, my babe and her mother

they left the house one day, i never saw them again

don't know the reason

rumours say that aliens took them away

i look into the sky and think: "did they die?"

i can always hope, though i'll never know

(Play chorus)

For the outro, just noodle around with the intro / verse chords

(F, Dmi, A, Bb, C)

GWC fuckin rock (but you knew that.)
