Chris And Stevie

C F G C


[Verse 1]

C                 F      G     C
My buddy Stevie, I loved him well
             G                     
We had some laugh, he was sound as 
   Dm
a bell
F                            Em
Our little lives, they ran parallel
C                            F    
He played with fire and got burnt 
G   C                       G
as hell


[Verse 2]

C                            F    
And I'm remembering little things 
 G    C
we'd done
                    G              
We'd bummed a trail out to the 
        Dm
beach in the sun
F                                 
We'd steal some ice pops, and 
      Em
laugh and run
C                           F
And through the sand dunes with 
       G    C                     G
finger guns


[Verse 3]

C                      F       G
But one day Stevie got bitten by
    C
 a bug
            G                      
He was fascinated by the life of a 
Dm
thug
F                              
He felt a weakling and he craved 
       Em
some power
C                            F    
But the thug's existence can soon 
 G    C
turn sour

[Chorus 1]

F                Am
I'm missing you today
F                Am
I'm missing you today
G                                 
What I would give to see you 
           F
smiling back at me
G                                 
And what I wouldn't do for one 
              F
last laugh with you


[Verse 4]

C                        F     G
My buddy Chris, he was quiet, 
     C
but tough
              G                    
And to his face, you wouldn't call 
       Dm
him a puff
F                                 
We'd done the boxing, had many's 
    Em
the scrap
C                           F   
To this young warrior, I'll tip 
G   C                   G
my cap


[Verse 5]
C                            F   
In Celtic times, it wasn't seen 
G   C
as wrong
                 G                 
'Til the Roman Empire with the 
         Dm
shame came along
F                                 
They called this love evil and 
              Em
they done much harm
C                                 
But if you're hurting no one, 
       F   G    C            G
you'll be in God's arms


[Verse 6]
C                         F     
Well, Chris and Stevie, I miss 
G   C
you both
            G                   Dm
Two more people cut down from a rope
F                                 
It breaks my heart that you went 
  Em
so far
C                         F       
To all young people, be proud of 
G       C
who you are


[Chorus 2]
(no guitar)
G   F   G   F
I'm missing you today
I'm missing you today, today
F                Am
I'm missing you today
F                Am
I'm missing you today
F                Am
I'm missing you today


                      G            
What I would give to see you 
          F
smiling back at me
                     G             
And what I wouldn't do for one last
             F
 laugh with you
C       G       Am      G       
Talk to me and tell me how you feel,
F
 ah
C        G       Am        G   
Lean on me, I'm here, my love is 
Em  F
real, ah
C        G       Am      G      
Talk to me and tell me how you feel,
 F
 ah
C        G       Am       G   
Lean on me, I'm here, my love is 
Em  F
real
