[Verse 1]
F#                         B
Passed him by a long time ago

                        F#
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

F#                                  B
But didn't stop to pick him up that day even though he was late

         F#
We drove by
[Verse 2]

A year later my family moved, he moved to the same town far away

F#                                          B
We became friends, smoked cigs, played ball together in all kinds of weather

We worked on our jump shot
[Chorus 1]
C#                           F#
Bucky little wing, you flew away

His name was Charles, he was my friend

         B
We got along, but in the end

C#                           F#
Bucky little wing, you flew away
[Verse 3]
        F#                               B
It was tough being weak, while Bucky was strong

His daddy died in a car wreck

F#                              B
And I got sick of being pushed around

                                     F#
Standing my ground when Bucky had my back
[Chorus 2]
C#                         F#
Hiding in a bush and it's okay

F#
We started rolling with a different crew

         B
Before I knew it we drifted to

C#                          F#
Bucky little wing you flew away
[Bridge 1]
F#                     B           
Once some racist kids, this is what I heard,

F#                             C#
pushed him underneath a moving truck

F#                             B
It swerved but got his head on accident

F#                          C#
They ran like devils in the night
[Verse 4]
F#                         B                    F#
Word was he died. I didn't cry but oh, oh how I tried
[Bridge 2]
F#              B                 F#
Monday came and he did too, so he didn't die

          B                      C#
Just some violet bruises and one shut eye
[Verse 5]
F#                              B                              F#
Can't believe that he survived, he was like a ghost after that day
[Chorus 3]
C#                                  F#
But he was just so mighty you might say

F#
His name was Charles, he was my friend

        B
We got along but in the end

C#                          F#
Bucky little wing you flew away
