except for E play the next chord early on the & of 4 and then dont strum on 1 There is a cool bass line that plays throughout the verses Here is both sheet music and Tableture for it https://musescore.com/user/36304974/scores/6482090/s/Shrq4Z?share=copy_link [Intro] x2 [Verse] Read in the paper ’bout a man killed with a sword And that made my think of my friend George People said the man was five foot six Sounds like George with his killing stick [Chorus] Hey bro what’s the word Talkin’ ’bout my friend George Hey bro what’s the word Talkin’ ’bout my friend George N.C. You talkin’ ’bout my friend George [Verse] I knew George since he’s eight I always thought that he was great And anything that George would do You know that I would do it too George liked music and George liked to fight He worked out in a downtown gym every night I’d spar with him when work was done We split lips but it was all in fun [Chorus] Hey bro what’s the word You talkin’ ’bout my friend George Hey bro what’s the word Talkin’ ’bout my friend George N.C. Talkin’ ’bout my friend George [Verse] Next thing I hear George’s got this stick He’s using it for more than kicks I seen him down at Smalley’s bar He was wired up I tried to calm him down "Avenge yourself" he says to me "Avenge yourself for humanity Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor Stick it to these guys right through their heads" know the fight is my music and the stick is my sword And you know that I love you so please don’t say a word Can’t you hear the music playing the anthem it’s my call And the last I seen of Georgey was him Running through the door I says - [Chorus] Hey bro what’s the word Talkin’ ’bout my friend George Hey bro what’s the word You talkin’ ’bout my friend George N.C. Talkin’ ’bout my friend George [Instrumental] |   | |   |   | |   |    |    |  | [Outro] Hey bro what’s the word You talkin’ ’bout my friend George Hey bro what’s the word What me saying ’bout my friend George Hey bro what’s the word Hear you talkin’ ’bout my friend George Hey bro what’s the word I hear you talkin’ ’bout my friend George x3

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'un homme, George, qui semble être à la fois cher à l'interlocuteur et embourbé dans des comportements violents. À travers des souvenirs communs, l'auteur partage des moments d'amitié, de loisirs et de rivalité amicale, soulignant un attachement profond. George, qui a toujours été passionné de musique et de combat, finit par s'engager dans une voie violente, incitant son ami à prendre position contre les injustices. Ce récit, à la fois nostalgique et tragique, montre le cheminement d'une amitié face à la violence et au désespoir.
