A              D		  A			B  
You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend  
A		   B  
Lying on the pavement with the misery on his brain  
A		    D		     A	    B  
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall  
   A	     E		D  
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall 
    D         A          B           E  
He only had a dollar to live til next Monday  
    A               B  
But He spent it all on comfort for his mind  
        D         A  
Did you say you think he's blind? 


Someone should call his parents a sister or a brother 

and they'll come to take him back home on a bus 

But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother 
  
And he'll never be another one of us 

He said he wanted heavan but praying was too slow 

So he bought a one way ticket on a airline made of snow 

Did you say you saw your good friend flying low 

Flying low, dying slow, flying low 

  
  
The second verse is the same  
  
The end of that verse flying low and dyin' slow is just the repeated D to A  
  
After the solo,  the song changes key up to B for the last verse so the   
progression is:  
B E B C#  
B C#  
B E B C#  
B F# E  
E B C# F#  
B C#  
E B  
then the last words are, again just repeated E B
