"William" by Chris Knight (from his self-titled debut)

I recently contacted Rick L at rickl1@IX.netcom.com to help me out with
this song.  I transcribed the lyrics and he was gracious enough to add
the chords.  Thanks Rick!

Bb Eb F Bb

Bb               F 
Well I remember William
Eb                        Bb
We weren't much more than kids
    Eb                Bb
His family lived in a run down shack
         F                       Eb
Like the rest of the white trash did
Bb              F
Now me and ole William
           Eb                   Bb
We used to smoke out behind the barn
        Eb                        Bb        
Til his daddy caught him stealing cigarettes
F                                Bb
I still think he broke William's arm
Bb                    F
When I was drinkin my first beer
     Eb                 Bb
Ole William was getting high
       Eb                       Bb
He got kicked out of school for fightin and drugs
       F                  Eb
And he stayed out late at night
Bb                 F
He never said too much about home
        Eb             Bb
Or the bruises on his back
Eb          Bb
I asked him about em one time
       F               Eb
But he never answered back

Chorus:
Eb
Yeah William
     F               Bb
You grew up hard and mean
    Eb                        Bb
You weren't the apple of your mama's eye
         F                      Eb
And your daddy was a burned out fiend
Bb                      F
For what it's worth now William
           Eb                      Bb
I know you could've had a heart of gold
            Eb                           Bb
But I don't think you ever knew that you had one
         F                  Bb   Eb  F  Bb
I don't think you were ever told

Bb                 F 
He spent a year in reform school
         Eb                  Bb
Cause he broke in a hardware store
Eb                                Bb
Now me and William lost track of each other
         F             Eb
I never saw him much anymore
Bb                  F
The last time I seen William
       Eb                  Bb
He was married and had two kids
            Eb                   Bb
He tried to raise em like he was supposed to
                 F                        Eb
But sometimes he raised em like his daddy did

(Chorus)

Bb                    F  
Well just last Sunday mornin
      Eb               Bb
Momma called me on the phone
                Eb                     Bb
Said there's a story in the paper about William
                   F             Eb
She just thought I might like to know
Bb               F
He got shot by a city cop
             Eb              Bb
While he was robbin a local drugstore
       Eb                     Bb
He was survived by two hungry kids, a wife
      F                    Eb
and a pool of blood on the floor

(Chorus)
