Watching Scotty Die

E

E                   G#
I’ve got a kid, his name is Scott
     A                    B       
He’s going blind, and his blood 
             C#m
just will not clot
     A               E
The doctors line in rows
         B                 C#m     
To stick tubes up Scotty’s nose.
B A

E                        G#      
There is the field where Scotty 
        A
used to play
       B                  C#m    
Until Ortho Orange Number 42 was 
A                 E      B A
dumped in it one day.

[Chorus]

B
  I think it’s so funny,
I laugh until I cry just me and 
E     C#m
Goooooood
Continues after the ad
A               B
Watching Scotty die.
C#m   A  E   C#m A E
Just me and God
C#m G# A               E
       Watching Scotty die.

The bass line for the second "just 
me and god" goes...

E                   G#
The chemical plant across the street
A                      B         
Leaves off steam that colors our 
        C#m
white sheets
           A             E
It’s been happening for years
         B               C#m  B A
Now I’m crying rainbow tears.
E                   G#
One day my dog went out to play
   A               B              
Instead of grey he came back 
    C#m
colored yellow
    A                        G#   
The chemical men said, “stay 
       A              E
mellow, it happens all the time!”
     G#              C#m   B A
Now Scotty’s skin is lime.

[Chorus]

B
  I think it’s so funny,
I laugh until I cry just me and 
E     C#m
Goooooood
A               B
Watching Scotty die.
C#m   A  E   C#m A E
Just me and God
C#m G# A               E
       Watching Scotty die.
