C
Crowd gathered 'round a school bus 
G
3rd Street and Elm 
Am
The neighbor man said, "Officer 
G
I caught it all on film" 
C
I watched my little grandson 
G
Come so close to death 
F
By that man standin' right there 
D
With liquor on his breath 

C
Another little boy wasn't so lucky 
G
He was lyin' there in the street 
Am
His little lifeless body 
G
Beneath the yellow sheet 
	 C
While the young man was on the sidewalk 
G
Goin' through a sobriety check 
F
The crowd was turnin into a lynch mob 
D
When he raised up his hands and said


G
I only had just one 
D
I swear that's the truth 
Em
That kid came outta nowhere 
C			  D
There was nothing I could do 
C		  G
I couldn't swerve I couldn't stop 
C		G
Now here I am asking God
	   Am
What have I done? 
D	      G		C
I only had just one 

C
A young momma burst through the crowd 
G
And pulled back that yellow sheet 
Am			      G
Collapsed and started shakin' uncontrollably 
	 C
Searched until she found that young man 
G
With her shattered eyes 
F
Then tore a hole into his soul
D
As she screamed and cried

G
I only had just one
D
And you took him away 
Em
I hope this is something 
C		D
You relive everyday 
C		      G
You coulda swerved and you coulda stopped 
C		   G
But you didn't now look my God
	   Am		D
What have you done? 
D	   G		C G C
I only had just one 
			G
I only had just one
