D                  G

G#m                                   F#            D#
Every night the same old dream I hate to close my eyes
G#m                                   F#       D#
I can't erase the memory the sound of Julie's cries
G#m
She called me up late that night she said :
F#                 D#
Joe, don't come over
G#m
My Dad and I just had a fight
F#                       D#
And he stormed out the door
       B
I've never seen him act this way,
    A                 E
My God, he's goin' crazy
C#m                  B
He said he's gonna make you pay

For what we've done, he's got a gun!

Got in my car and I drove like mad
G                   E
Til I reached Julie's place
Am                                          G             E
She ran to me, with tear-filled eyes and bruises on her face
Am                             G            E
All at once I saw him there sneaking up behind me (watch-out!)
Am
Then Julie yelled, "He's got a gun!"
            G                 E
And she stepped in front of me
  C          Am                A#              F
Suddenly, a shot rang out and I saw Julie falling
  Dm               C
I ran to her, I held her close
A#                             A
When I looked down, my hands were red
Dm                    C            Dm
And here's the last words Julie said

Dm                    C
Daddy please don't it wasn't his fault
D#                  A#
He means so much to me
Gm                   F
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get mar-ried...

Am         G         Am
Run, Joey run, Joey run
      G        Am
Joey run, Joey run
      G        Am
Joey run, Joey run

B-R-L-F-Q spells Mom and Dad
     G                         C
That ain't too bad, That's my boy

You can have your drive-in picture show
F                     G                C                   Am
I'll sit here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio
F                  G               C
Bidin' my time,  watching Scotty grow.

C                      F          
Makin' a castle out of building blocks

And a cardboard box, That's my boy

And what I did before that I don't know

So let it rain on my windowpane, I've got my own rainbow
          F                                     C           
And it's sitting here shining, Watching Scotty grow

          C                 F
Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
    G                       C
Old sleepy head, That's my boy
C                                  F
Got to have a drink of water and a story read
        G                           C
A teddy bear named Fred, That's my boy

F
What's that you say, Mama
G                    C        Am
Come on and keep you feet warm

Well save me a place, I'll be there in a minute or so
     F                     G
I'll think I'll stay right here
      C                      Am     
Say a little prayer before I go

F
Me and God a'
G               C
watching Scotty grow

F
Just me and God a'
G               C
Watching Scotty grow...
