Couplet 1 

Bb              C        
So black, it's a desperate night 
     Eb                 Bb       
20 years back from today 
Bb                 C 
One mother and a kid name Tony 
         Eb                  Bb 
Learning life the hardest way, and I say... 

Bb  C   Eb                          Bb 
            Daddy has gone too soon 
Bb  C   Eb                                Bb 
            For the young boy to stay cool 


Couplet 2 

Bb            C 
Well, Tony rules in the schoolyard 
Eb             Bb 
Everybody says 
Bb                          C 
Blue eyes clentched fists and many reasons 
      Eb                 Bb 
For Tony to go astray 

Bb  C      Eb                    Bb 
Ah ah: at night he likes to roam 
Bb  C              Eb              Bb 
Ah ah: he's the only man at home

Bb             C 
His heart is big like a mansion 
           Eb                  Bb 
That is all you need to know 
Bb                             C 
The Young boy has become a young man 
           Eb                          Bb 
But the rage didn't cease to grow 

Petit pont:
 
Gm              F                               Bb
