B*                 E*
I remember when we walked as one
    A*      E*          B*           E
And all the truths were known
B*                           E*
And we were scrappers in the school yard fights
       A*             E*  B*         E
Talked tougher on the telephone
B                    E                      A       E      B          E
But there was always one big guy who feared nothing and no one
B                        E
His name was Gary and he looked so mean
   A        E      B
He wasn't a lot of fun


[Pre-Chorus]
E  B*
   When he walked by
A  B*
   You got the fuck out of the way


[Chorus]
B E B F#m
B E B F#m

B E  B  F#m
Gary was
    B       E      B   F#m
Was top cat in his day
B    E    B    F#m
Everybody said
     B        E       B    F#m
That he'd get his someday

A* E*


[Verse]
B*               E*
Now Gary was the schoolyard bully
A*            E*     B*           E
Didn't have a lot of friends
B*                 E*
He had kids do his homework for him
A*      E*      B*       E
Stupid 'til the end
B                    E                      A      E     B        E
On hraduation day he stood the tallest, and he got his degree
B               E
He couldn't add two plus two
    A          E  B    E
Let loose on society


[Pre-Chorus]
E  B*
   When he walked by
A  B*
   You got the fuck out of the way


[Chorus]
B E B F#m
B E B F#m

B E  B  F#m
Gary was
    B       E      B   F#m
Was top cat in his day
B    E    B    F#m
Everybody said
     B        E       B    F#m
That he'd get his someday

[Bridge]

A* E* B# F#m*
A* E* B# F#m*

    A*              E*       B*              F#m*
And I swear to this day that I still see his face
       A*                  E*              B*            F#m
When I have a bad dream at night, he's the monster to my right

B   E   A E B E
B   E   A E B E


[Chorus]
B*                E*                 A*        E*     B*           E
Now Gruesome Gary met his match at a young and tender age
B*                       E*                        A*        E*   B*           E
He got a whipping at the mall one night, and the police took him away
B                        E                     A         E      B       E
The town cheered and the geeks all jeered, but I'll just make a bet
B                    E                  A               E    B          E
Gary will live on in infamy, he was the meanest guy you ever met!


[Pre-Chorus]
E  B*
   When he walked by
A  B*
   You got the fuck out of the way


[Chorus]
