[Verse 1]
[F]I knew this
kid named Alberto
[Am]Funny style [E]cat
And his girl looked like a turtle
[Am]Not Lisa Turtle, just a turtle
High school track
He ran the hurdle
His peers shed tears senior year
when he got [G]murdered
Now [F]Al berto was
your average A student
Par[E]ticipated in class,
Never came [F]late
And never [Am]truant
His family was picture perfect
His older [F]sister was prom queen
His dad a decor[Am]ated vet
from the Vietnam [G]team
[F]His mother was Dear Abby,
An ordinary [E]house wife
Like clockwork,
always had dinner on the table [Am]at 5
But Alberto had a monster
[F]he kept under his bed
Instead of letting it out,
He just got a girlfriend [G]instead
[F]She knew something was funny
Shecould tell by his behavior
Or [E]the way he flamboyantly
shook his hand
When he would [G]wave to her
[Am]She thought nothing of it
And just shoved it in the closet
Until the day that [C]word dripped
out like leak[G]y faucet
Alber[F]to was homosexual
I ain't have nothing [E]against it
But little Ronnie Johnson and all his football
player [G]friends did
[Am]They'd always pick an[G]d nag
Call him [Am]"fag" and such
and such
And couldn't wait to get to [F]gym so
they could really bust [G]his nuts
The gym [F]teacher never cared
He'd just join in on [E]the action
He'd make silly gestures
And com[F]pared him to
[Am]Micheal Jackson
Alberto couldn't take it
He'd just [F]stop showing up and
whenever he walked them halls
He just [Am]felt like throwin' [G]up
[F]And night he would cry and cry
and ask "God [E]why?"
Like "God, why the fuck'd I have
to be born this [Am]way?"
God would reply, "Son,
you've gotta show 'em [F]you're more [Am]than gay"
[G]Cause he had [F]dreams to be a track star
Until that [E]warm April night
Them gay jokes went way too far
[G]Ronnie beg[Am]ged for his forgiv[G]eness
And in[Am]vited him to a [G]party
Cause his parents went away
And left him [C]plenty [G]of Bacardi
Al[F]berto kindly accepted
He was finally [E]accepted
Except it was all deception
And left them all unpro[Am]tected
It was a plan Ronnie had scammed
To get [F]him in the right [Am]place
Verbally de[C]grade and re
[Am]arrange his pretty [G]face
The [F]plan would go swiftly
They started calling [E]him sissy
One punch turned into fifty
They beat [F]him till he [Am]was dizzy
Now Alberto lie in blood
While his peers look on in fear
He took his last [F]breath
And passed [Am]away his senior [G]year

[Verse 2]
[Am]Needless to say
It was one big tragedy
[G]And how was Ronnie gonna
explain to his family,
[F]While they were on vacation taking in sights
He [E]got wasted and killed a kid that night

[Verse 3]
[F]Don't be a slave and behave
the way they do,
Just utilize [Am]the gifts that
[E]
God gave [C]you [x4]

[Verse 4]
I knew [F]this girl named Maria
Bright and talen[E]ted
With aspirations to be a
Big super[Am]star
What a great idea
Un[F]til she fell off and started
to listening to her peers
[Am]Oh dear![G]
[F]Now Maria was your typical obnoxious
Ana[E]lytical head strong rebel
Flippin' off the prin[Am]cipal
Single mother home structure
She [F]looked after baby brother
While mom worked [Am]two jobs
Just to buy [G]supper
[F]Pops was a struggling musician
[E]Troubled man,
Juggling family [F]and heroin
ad[Am]diction
He overdosed and left [E]a notice of eviction
And a crate [F]of records on
the table in the [G]kitchen
[F]And a little angel with a keen sense of sound
[E]Who saw silence in the records she[G] found
[Am]And she woul[G]d stay up late[Am] at night
[F]Reciting songs to herself
Under pale moonlight
[G]Righting wro[F]ngs that
her pops made,
Promised her [E]mom she'd
never go that same route
[F]Turns out[Am]
Carrie Anne had other plans
[F]Her and her man Ronnie
most popular,
Second [Am]best [G]to nobody
[F]Homecoming queen versus ugly duck[E]ling
And the story ends the same way
[F]Ok,[Am] Ronnie's parents went
away for a [F]couple of days
And told him "No Drinking"
What the [C]fuck were they [G]thinking?
[F]Maria was oblivious that her boyfriend
had [E]already been invited
So when Car[G]rie Anne asked
She [Am]got all ex[G]cited
Like [Am]"damn [E]now I got [F]something
to look [C]forward to"
Or so she [G]thought
Mari[F]a kindly accepted,
Except [E]it was all bullshit
Not pay attention,
[Am]Carrie Anne hated Mari
[F]a cause she could sing
So she scored a bag of [C]heroin
But the craziest [G]thing was
[F]Maria never touched drugs,
she did that night
And when [E]her man was getting beat
She was nowhere in sight
[G]Now her boy[F]friend lie in [G]blood
And [Am]she had no idea
Alberto passed [F]away and she
[C]got hooked her seni[G]or year
[F]Needless to say
It was one one big tragedy
[G]An d I hate to break it but
It doesn't end happily
A [F]warm day in May,
The sky was so beautiful
[E]Carrie Anne died in a crash

[Outro 1]
leaving the funeral
[F]
[Am]
