Chords
From the Quadrophenia Directors cut edition (it's a demo that wasn't on the original album).
All instrumentals done by Pete Townshend, but nevertheless credited to the Who.
Certain sections of the song wound up on other songs on the actual album (Mainly Bellboy, Dr. Jimmy
and is it in my head?).

B F# I guess by now you're feeling sorry for me B F# Well that's the way this story's meant to be B F# Take a look around, you won't see much that's right B F# Your kid might be in the Boy Scouts, but he's kicking queers at night
[Chorus]
D G Tell me a single thing life teaches you D G Tell me a single death that reaches you D G You deny you've got a soul to preach to D G Try and save him, I beseech you
[Verse 2]
B G I've done all I can, he never cut his hair B G I washed my hands of the whole affair D Bb Twenty years in jail seems a little harsh D Bb F F But I bow to the law and the chosen path
