D
He was sitting up there for more than an hour
G
Way up there on the Texas Tower
D Em
Shooting from the twenty-seventh floor, yahoo
D
He didn't choke or slash or slit them
G
Not our Charles Joseph Whitman
D Em D
He wont be an architect no more

G
Got up that morning calm and cool
D Em
He picked up his guns and walked to school
D
All the while he smiled so sweetly
G
And it blew their minds completely
D Em D
They'd never seen an Eagle Scout so cruel

D
Now wont you think for the shame and degradation
G
For the schools administration?
D Em
He put on such a bold and brassy show
D
The Chancellor cried, "Its adolescent
G
And of course its most unpleasant
D Em D
But I got to admit it was a lovely way to go"

G D
There was a rumor about a tumor
Em
Nestled at the base of his brain
D
He was sitting up there with his .36 Magnum
G
Laughing wildly as he bagged em
D Em D
Who are we to say the boys insane?

D
Now Charlie was awful disappointed
G
Else he thought he was anointed
D Em
To do a deed so lowdown and so mean
D
The students looked up from their classes
G
Had to stop and rub their glasses
D Em D
Who'd believe he'd once been a Marine

G D
Now Charlie made the honor roll with ease
Em
Most all of his grades was As and Bs
D
A real rip snorting, trigger squeezer
G
Charlie proved a big crowd pleaser
D Em D
Though he had been known to make a couple Cs

D
Some were dying, some were weeping
G
Some were studying, some were sleeping
D Em
Some were shouting, Texas number one
D
Some were running, some were falling
G
Some were screaming, some were bawling
D Em D
Some thought the revolution had begun

G
The doctors tore his poor brain down
D Em
But not a snitch of illness could be found
D
Most folks couldn't figure just-a why he did it
G
And them that could would not admit it
D Em D
There's still a lot of Eagle Scouts around

G D
There was a rumor about a tumor
Em
Nestled at the base of his brain
D
He was sitting up there with his .36 Magnum
G
Laughing wildly as he bagged em

D Em
Who are we to say the boys in?
D Em
Who are we to say the boys in?
D Em D
Who are we to say the boys insane?
