Chorus:

 A		  E	    A

Lee Harvey was a friend of mine,

  D				    A

He used to take me fishin' all the time.

  D				    A		  F#m

He used to throw a ball to me when I was just a kid,

They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did.

Verse 1:

Well, I was born in Dallas in nineteen fifty-two,

   A					    E

And Lee Harvey lived across the street on Ripley Avenue.

He used to throw a ball to me when I was just a kid,

    A				     E		       A

They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did.


Chorus

Verse 2: Well, I've seen that picture of him holdin' pamphlets and a gun, And there's shadows pointin' every which way, but only just one sun. Someone faked that photo and then snuck away and hid, They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did.

 A		 E	    A

Lee Harvey was a friend of mine.

Verse 3: Well, I saw it all on TV, Lee Harvey got gunned down, And he was killed off by Jack Ruby, the biggest sleaze in town. He stuck a gun into his ribs and said, "Here's lookin' at you, kid," Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey - my TV proved he did.

Chorus

 A		 E	    A
Lee Harvey was a friend of mine.
