*(I'll type E4 for short)
During The verses A and E7sus4 are played... E7sus4 is just what he plays
when he plays a variation of the A chord. You could play Asus2 if you like
as well. Just choose whatever you think sounds better.
VERSE:

When i was a boy of 10
A E4 A E4
I had a very best friend
A E4 A E4
Fred was kind with good intent
Bm E
But just a little different
CHORUS:
A E4 Bm
Oh special fred
E A E4 Bm
Mama dropped him on his head
E A E4 Bm
Now hes not so bright instead
E A E4 Bm
He's a little bit special
E
Just a little bit
(Same chords as the 1st Verse)
We'd play tag and he'd get hurt
I'd play soldier He'd eat dirt
I liked math and spelling bees
Fred liked talking to a tree
CHORUS
I ran track, hung out in malls
Fred ran head first into walls
I had girls and lots of clothes
Fred had names for all his toes
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
C#m Dm C#m
One day talking to special fred
Dm C#m
He grabbed a brick and swung at my head
Dm C#m
As he laughed at me that's when i knew
Dm E A E4

Now i laugh as i count bugs
I give strangers great big hugs
Next to me Fred is fine
Yeah, he's a f'n Eistein
(Same Chords as Chorus)
Oh special fred and me
Now we're not right in the head, ya see
Now we're not so bright instead
We're a little bit special
Just a little bit special
That bastard fred made me special
Just a little bit
Just a little bit...special
