Chords:
A2 (x,0,2,2,0,0)
A9 (x,0,2,1,0,0)
A5 (5,7,7,x,x,x)
A* (5,7,6,x,x,x) <---actually A5(add4)
Bb5 (x,1,3,3,x,x)
C5 (x,3,5,5,x,x)
E (0,2,2,1,0,0)
F5 (1,3,3,x,x,x)
G5 (3,5,5,x,x,x)
The easiest way to play this is to hold the E major shape under the A2.
Almost like when you play Esus (0,2,2,2,0,0) then E (0,2,2,1,0,0) and
all you do is lift up one finger. The same is useful here.

There's a boy that I once knew

Everyone thought he had it all

Anger and hate so deep inside

Waiting for their chance a boy with no control

looking down at a cold steel chamber

Mercy at last.
A5 then into Chorus


Chorus

Darkness comes on so strong.
His world gets painted black.

The frail boy collapsed.

The towel's thrown in

Just one thing left to do;
One technicality.
Face to face with death;
There's finally someone who cares
Those big nasty chords that interrupt are C5's and G5's. I would give
timings but I'm too lazy and I have a cassette. Here's the order they
go:
C5 C5 G5 G5 C5 G5 C


Chorus
There you go! This is as accurate as I can get since I'm typing at the
library. If a chord is in the wrong place then mess around with the
timing. It's probably the right chord wrong time. God Bless.
