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...
