cigarettes and a bottle of beer , this poem that i wrote for you

i’ve read robert mcnamara , he says he’s sorry

G D G D
yeah , you and your boots and black t – shirt , oh , billy you looked so bad
G D G D
yeah you and your rock and roll band was the best thing this shit town ever had

Bm D
and apology and forgiveness got no place here at all , here at the wall

G D G D
if your eyes could cut through that black stone , tell me would they recognize me

high school pictures and paper flowers , there’s ribbons as red as the blood
G D G D

Bm D
apology and forgiveness got no place here at all
