See bottom of tab for this unique verse.
 
CAPO: 3rd fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of Cm)
 
VERY IMPORTANT:
The dissonant chord in the last line of the verses is
(in relation to the capo) an Fsus2(#11) chord,
comprising F, C, G and B (with the capo on 3rd fret,
those then sound as Ab, Eb, Bb and D). Unfortunately,
the site's automatic chord recognition software does
not recognise this chord. I also tried naming it
simply as G11/F, but the database didn't have that
chord name either. Therefore, for those not playing
this song with a capo as below, the site's transpose
function won't automatically show any transposition
of the Fsus2(#11) chord.
=====================================================
IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression. Just use
the voicings suggested in the text column numbers.
 
Em7   = 022030    Am   = x22100       Dm    = xx0231
Bm7   = x24232    C    = x32013       Dm/A  = x00231
Fadd9 = xx3213    F    = xx3211       C4    = x33010
G4    = 320013    Ab   = 466544       Csus2 = x30010
G     = 320003    Fsus2(#11) = 13300x

Once,   ...there was this kid who...
F           C            G                C
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school,
     F               G    C     G      C
But, when he finally came back,
G     C    F                 C          G
His...hair...had turned from black into bright white,

Once,   ...there was this girl who...

Wouldn't go and change...
         G            C
With the girls in the change room,
     F                    G    C
But, when ...they finally made her,
G      C    F                  C        G
They...saw  ...birth marks all over her body,
    Ab                  C
She couldn't quite ex - plain it,
       Ab          Fsus2(#11)  F
They'd always just been-----   there

'Cause, then  ...there was this boy whose...
F                C
Parents made him come directly... 
G                C
Home right after school,
    F                 G     C
And when they went to their church,
G      C     F                 C        G
They...shook...and lurched all over the church floor,
   Ab                  C
He couldn't quite ex - plain it,

They'd always just gone------  there
