He had a [C]stroke at the age of [G]24
It could have [F]been a brilliant car[Am]eer
Painting [C]lines in a [G]school that was [F]too well known
Painting [C]lines with a [G]friend who had [F]gone before
She challenged everyone [C]to a fight
But the [F/C]people [C]all backed [G]down
And they [F/C]ran her [C]out of [G]town
Cause she [F/C]drank and [C]swore and [G]spoke
Out of [F/C]turn she [C]was the [G]village joke
She had a[C] stroke at the age of[G] 24
It could have [F]been a brilliant car[Am]eer
Getting c[C]lients to f[G]inance her strat[F]egies
Filling t[C]ime in on S[G]afeways on Satur[F]day
She wears the clothes of[C] an emperor
But her [F/C]paintin[C]gs are a sh[G]am
and they[F/C]'re goi[C]ng for a gr[G]and
When the[F/C] dealer[C]s come to v[G]iew
Do they [F/C]ever se[C]e the real [G]you?
He had a [C]stroke at the age of [G]24
It could have [F]been a brilliant car[Am]eer
Selling l[C]ies to the [G]boys with the ol[F]d Dansettes
Pulling t[C]he wool, pl[G]aying the fool, [F]it's no wonder that
He is dribbling spit ton[C]ight
And the [F/C]one he [C]sent away[G]
Was the [F/C]only on[C]e who staye[G]d
With a s[F/C]poon an[C]d a decent [G]book
You can [F/C]tell by[C] the way sh[G]e looks
She is s[F/C]orry an[C]d resignes[G]
As he we[F/C]ts hims[C]elf for the[G] final time
