Joey pulled himself to his feet,
                            D
Hauled his body back up the bank
                     A      G    A
And looked back down there.
A                               G
He said the water was not that deep;
                           D
"But I almost drowned there."
                                   A    G  A
You can drown in a bathtub so they say.
A                              G
"Someone in class called me a loser,
                         D                        A  G  A
So I decided to skip the day hey hey - skip the day.
A                                          G
I tried to look casual sneaking round the back,
                                D
Past the shotput across the track
                                A    G    A
And to the gate beside the portables.
A                              G
But a red tie and school gray slacks
                          D
Doesn't blend in with the grass
                             A     G
As the teacher was changing class.

He chased me halfway through the park,
                    Bm
Till I ran into the woods;
        D         A
And I'm very good in the woods.
A                  G
So I was an Indian,
                       D
Built a fire by the creek
                   A    G
And dried my eyes there."

There's a record body count this year

Joey stepped up on a block of ice,
                       D
Put a rope around his neck,
                          A
And fell asleep before he died.
