Childhood's end

Simmons, Thayer, Kulick

[Intro: E-chord faded in and manipulated by volume knob]

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]

[Rhy. fig 1c]

[Rhy. fig 2a]

I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks

So what, there's nothing left to do

And you and your obsessions and your crucifix

As if what I thought mattered much to you

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]

And you were always my friend from Childhood's End

It was forever and ever

[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]

Did you understand

It's Childhood's End

But never, the dream is over

[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]

Sunday morning in the New York Times

I read you died last night

It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind

And the note you left behind said:

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]

You were always my friend from Childhood's End

Seems like forever and ever

Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend

It's near the end

You won't ever be a rock and roller

Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End

But never, the dream is over

[Rhy. fig 4]

You were just like me

I was just like you

For eternity I'll think of you

[Solo over Rhy. fig 1a followed by Rhy. fig 3a]

[Harmony on bar 5 of solo]

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b with Riff 1]

[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b with Riff 1]

(Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)

You've got something about you,

You've got something I need...
