G C D G
G D
Well I remember William
C G
We weren't much more than kids
C G
His family lived in a run down shack
D C
Like the rest of the white trash did
G D
Now me and ole William
C G
We used to smoke out behind the barn
C G
Til his daddy caught him stealing cigarettes
D C
I still think he broke William's arm
G D
When I was drinkin my first beer
C G
Ole William was getting high
C G
He got kicked out of school for fightin and drugs
D C
And he stayed out late at night
G D
He never said too much about home
C G
Or the bruises on his back
C G
I asked him about em one time
D C
But he never answered back
Chorus:
C
Yeah William
D G
You grew up hard and mean
C G
You weren't the apple of your mama's eye
D C
And your daddy was a burned out fiend
G D
For what it's worth now William
C G
I know you could've had a heart of gold
C G
But I don't think you ever knew that you had one
D G C D G
I don't think you were ever told
G D
He spent a year in reform school
C G
Cause he broke in a hardware store
C G
Now me and William lost track of each other
D C
I never saw him much anymore
G D
The last time I seen William
C G
He was married and had two kids
C G
He tried to raise em like he was supposed to
D C
But sometimes he raised em like his daddy did
C
Yeah William
D G
You grew up hard and mean
C G
You weren't the apple of your mama's eye
D C
And your daddy was a burned out fiend
G D
For what it's worth now William
C G
I know you could've had a heart of gold
C G
But I don't think you ever knew that you had one
D G C D G
I don't think you were ever told
G D
Well just last Sunday mornin
C G
Momma called me on the phone
C G

D C
She just thought I might like to know
G D

C G
While he was robbin a local drugstore
C G
He was survived by two hungry kids, a wife
D C
and a pool of blood on the floor
