[intro]
A#  A#  A#  A#

[verse 1]
A#
Harry Green was my old friend,
   A#
we met in Spanish class,
A#
helped me out of a spot I was in,
             A#
he stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass,
          A#                         A#
stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass.

[verse 2]
A#
Harry Green was strong and tall,
A#
played on a football team,
     A#
them good ol’ boys said “you better watch out,
     A#
he’s not what he would seem,
     A#
he’s not what he would seem".

[chorus]
D#     A#            F        A#
Harry Green was allright by me,
D#     A#            F
Harry Green was allright
     A#  A#   A#  A#
with me.

[verse 3]
           A#
Well, them high school halls

can sure get rough when
    A#
you ain’t like everyone else,
A#
Harry Green had to hold
        A#
so much deep inside himself,
A#                A#
deep inside himself.

[verse 4]
A#
Harry Green was middle class,
A#
sixteen – he got a new car,
    A#
I remember him in the talent show,
A#
playin’ on his old guitar,
A#                       A#
playin’ on his old guitar.

[chorus]
D#     A#            F           A#
Harry Green was allright with  me,
D#     A#            F
Harry Green was allright
   A#  A#  A#  A#
by me.

[verse 5]
       A#
It was second-hand news

in the middle of the day,
A#
sounded like rumour of lie,
  A#
a ontiac wrapped around an old oak tree,
  A#
vehicular suicide,
A#                  A#
Harry Green had died.

[verse 6]
    A#
Sometimes I wish I was still
           A#
a boy with life ahead of me,
    A#
one day I’ll go back and say
            A#
a few words over Harry Green,
A#
over Harry Green.

[outro]
      D#     A#            F        A#
Yeah, Harry Green was allright by me,
D#     A#            F        A#
Harry Green was allright by me.
