The Only One - HUey Lewis and the News - 1982 [Intro] A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5 A B5 F#5 G x2 A5 D5 [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] A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5 A B5 F#5 G x3 A5 D5 A5 B5 F#5 G5 A5 D5 A B5 F#5 G x3 B5 A5 [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
