[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,
     A N.C.                         E N.C.           A
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did.


[Verse 1]
      A                       D              A
Well, I was born in Dallas in nineteen fifty-two
                                          B          E
And Lee Harvey lived across the street on Ripley Avenue.
   D                               A            F#m
He used to throw a ball to me when I was just a kid,
     A N.C.                         E N.C.           A
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did.


[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,
     A N.C.                         E N.C.           A
They say he shot the president, but I don't think he did.


[Verse 2]
      A                                     D               A
Well, I've seen that picture of him holdin' pamphlets and a gun,
                                                  B             E
And there's shadows pointin' every which way, but only just one sun.
D                            A                   F#m
Someone faked that photo and then snuck away and hid,
     A N.C.                         E N.C.           A
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]
      A                       D                 A
Well, I saw it all on TV, Lee Harvey got gunned down,
                                        B                 E
And he was killed off by Jack Ruby, the biggest sleaze in town.
   D                                    A                      F#m
He stuck a gun into his ribs and said, "Here's lookin' at you, kid,"
     A N.C.                      E N.C.       A
Jack Ruby killed Lee Harvey - my TV proved he did.


[Chorus]
    A            E         A

[Outro]
        A N.C.       E N.C.    D A
And Lee Harvey was a friend of mine
