Misc Originals – Dave Parnes - The Ballad Of Alex Kueng (Guitar)

G                 D          F                C
Alex Kueng was a rookie cop, third day on the job

Cm                         G       A7                D7
Called about a counterfeit twenty, down at a corner store

G                 D                F                            C
Alex Kueng was a rookie cop, just doin' what he was supposed to do

      Cm               G              D7            G       G7
On a cloudy day in the month of May, outside of Cup Foods

   C                 G            C             G
It happened in Mill City. You can watch it on YouTube

    C                     G             A7                 D7
But be forwarned it's not pretty, even though it's nothing new

    C                G             B7            Em

    C                     G            D7                  G
And when he calls for his momma, it'll break your heart in two

G                 D            F                C
Will this be any different, or will the ourage fade?

  Cm                         G                            A7                       D7
A commission is written, politicians act stricken and the gears grind on just the same

G                    D                 F                C
This is the story of two black men and how George Floyd met his end

Cm                   G                 D7             G
Chauvin kneeled down on his neck while Kueng held him down

G                       D                F                        C
