Though something was wrong and it?s easier to drink than go crazy

The grandson of George has been all around the world and lives in no special place  
Bb                                          F/C                                      C/E  
Changed his last name and he married a girl with an interesting face

He?d almost forgotten them both because in the life that he leads

There?s nowhere for George and his library or the son with his gun to belong  
Gm7     C7sus4  
Except in this song
