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.)
