[Verse]
D Bm
He was always the toughest kid
G G
But he never meant no harm
D Bm
But looking back I could see his fate
G G
Was tatooed on his arm
D Bm
Walking through the courtyard
G G
Always there to be seen
D Bm
He and little Janie
G G
Together they were the king and queen
[Chorus]
A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A B5 F#5 G5 A5 D
He was the only one, what can we do
A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A B5 F#5 G5 A5 D
He was the only one, where is he now
[Verse]
D Bm
Three years later at the bus stop
G G
I know I'll never forget
D Bm
He looked smaller and real wasted
G G
As he bummed a cigarette
D Bm
And I asked him what he'd been doing
G G
And how's little Janie anyway
D Bm
Seems he was drunk, They had a fight
G G
Janie got hurt and they took him away
[Chorus]
A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A B5 F#5 G5 A5 D
He was the only one, what can we do
A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A B5 F#5 G5 A5 D
He was the only one, where is he now
[Bridge]
Bm A
I can still see him standing there
D G
Just like yesterday
Bm A
Leaning on a '56
D G
Giving his secrets away
Bm A
Is it any wonder
D G
I feel a little lonely
Bm A
He's not just the only one
D G
He's the one and only
[Solo]

[Verse]
D Bm
I heard about the accident
G G
There's not much left to say
D Bm
He wandered out in the middle of the freeway
G G
It must have happened right away
D Bm
And I though about what a shame it was
G G
Now that it's all said and done
D Bm
And it may sound strange, But even now
G G
He's still the only one
[Chorus]
A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5
He was the only one, who ever really knew
A B5 F#5 G5 A5 D
He was the only one, what can we do
A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5
He was the only one, he always showed us how
A B5 F#5 G5 A5 D
He was the only one, where is he now...Repeat and fade
