John Mellencamp – Theo And Weird Henry (Guitar)

D               C
Henry worked at Sears or somehwhere

D         C
Theo did, too

D                          C
They both got themselves a van together;

D                     C
Nineteen seventy-two, Ford

D                C                  D                C
Drove around all night long playing music very, very loud

D                  C
Big noise, all the time;

       D                      C
Little legends in a little town

           G                    C
Moments in time they shared together

C           G                D
 Moments in time between two friends

C                   G                       D
 Standing on street corners with shirts unbuttoned

            C                                   G              D
There was a moment in time they swore they were friends to the end

D                C
 Couple of wild, wild boys

D                                      C
They told me they could hear the grass grow

D                     C
Theo used to say, hey Henry, man

C
I'm screwin' this cat

D                      C
You're just holdin' it

D                             C
I never knew what they was talking about

         D                                          C
But they laughed like they both thought it was funny

D                         C
Theo and weird Henry went chasing after something

            D                               C
And neither one of them believing in nothing

           G                    C
Moments in time they shared together

C                      G                   D
Called themselves the "He-man women lovers club,"

C                                G                          D
Throwin' pop bottles against the wall just to get some attention

            C                                   G              D
There was a moment in time they swore they were friends to the end

D                 C                           D
 Theo's out there living it up doing a little earth shaking -somewhere

             C                      D
Henry sent a postcard from a better place

                                C                  D
But I can see them both sitting there laughing and breathing

      C                    G                    D
I can still see that smile on weird Henry's face

C           G                    C
 Moments in time they shared together

C           G                D
 Moments in time between two friends

C                   G                           D
Dancing on that old van with their shirts wide open

           C                                         G                  D
That was a moment in time they swore they were blood brothers until the end
