[INTRO] A [TWO-BIT]
A
Well, I woke up this morning
Hungover from the night before
A
I picked up the paper
And my jaw done hit the floor
           A
There were kids trapped in a fire
And a couple of heroes came to their aid
         A
I had to look twice at the picture when I saw that
N.C. It was Ponyboy and Johnny Cade
               E7
I thought them boys were as good as dead
But as it turns out the headline read
D7
Hoods turned heroes

      A7
These Greasers are the talk of the town

         E7
They ran straight into the fire

           A7
While that old church was burning down

          D7
Just some low-down dirty Greasers

           A
Accused of murder in the first degree

        E7
Imagine this: they save some kids

       E7
That's how they got to be

             A7                     D7
Yeah, that’s how they got to be the front page story
Yeah
             A7
Hoods turned heroes
[SODAPOP]
       A7
When a Greaser's in the paper

              A7
You can bet a dollar that it ain't no good
[SODAPOP & GREASERS, spoken]
D
Someone got robbed

D
Someone got mugged

D
Someone had a run-in with a Greaser hood

A7
But now the tide is changing

A7
I can see you people turning one by one

A7
Are we headed for the age of the Greasers?

A7                                 [NOTES: B - C - D] E
The reconciliation's already begun
N.C. Hoods turned heroes [TWO-BIT]
E7
They caught us all by surprise

D7
When they rose to the occasion, put it on the line

D7                                    E
And saved all of them children's lives
[ENSEMBLE] N.C. Hoods turned heroes [SODAPOP]
E7
Is Tulsa gonna finally see?

D7
Got some heroes in the makin'
[SODAPOP & TWO-BIT]
D7
And the Greaser reputation
[SODAPOP, TWO-BIT, & ENSEMBLE]
D7
Ain't the burden that it used to be

E
Look at us now

E
We're getting our due

E
It's feeling even sweeter after what we've been through

D
Hoods turned heroes

     A
This town will never be the same

     E7
It's time to celebrate the Greasers

     A7
Take pride in the Greaser name

       D
Owe it all to Pony & Johnny

        A7
They've still got a ways to go

    E
But y’all stay tuned

        E
They’ll get well soon

        A                      D
There's gonna be more to this Greaser story

             A    G  D  A
