Childhood's end
Simmons, Thayer, Kulick

[Intro: E-chord faded in and manipulated by volume knob]

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]
[Rhy. fig 1c]

[Rhy. fig 2a]
I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks 
So what, there's nothing left to do 
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix 
As if what I thought mattered much to you 


[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b] 
And you were always my friend from Childhood's End 
It was forever and ever 

[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b]
Did you understand 
It's Childhood's End 
But never, the dream is over
 

[Rhy. fig 2a & 2b]
Sunday morning in the New York Times 
I read you died last night 
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind 
And the note you left behind said: 

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b]
You were always my friend from Childhood's End 
Seems like forever and ever 
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend 
It's near the end 
You won't ever be a rock and roller 

Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End 
But never, the dream is over 

[Rhy. fig 4]
You were just like me 
I was just like you 
For eternity I'll think of you 

[Solo over Rhy. fig 1a followed by Rhy. fig 3a]
[Harmony on bar 5 of solo]

[Rhy. fig 1a & 1b with Riff 1]
[Rhy. fig 3a & 3b with Riff 1]
(Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out) 
You've got something about you, 
You've got something I need...
