If you are using this song instead of reading the book for school: Gatsby was not shot in the head, just in the body. You're welcome.

lyrics

A boy so lonely in a small little town
One day he’d dream of Daisy as his spouse
Born from parents lazy as can be
He went to the lake and looked out to see
A boat was rocking in the stormy waves
A man named Cody he would then save
The man would die and leave him all his money
Now this boy is back from the war
And he’s looking for his honey

He lives in the West Egg
To find his long lost dame
He knows she’s close to him
So that is why he stays
And everybody knows
Great parties does he throw
Oh, they don’t see who he is
Cause he will never show
A new neighbor arrives
Named Nick, the broker guy
The two hit it off alright
Just see their friendship rise
One day Nick looks above
Says, “Man, has it been tough”
He’s got him a surprise
To rekindle lost love
So now he’s got Daisy
And that’s all that he can see
The two have love again
And he’s as happy as can

Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Oh Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Oh Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Oh Gatsby, Great Gatsby
He’s the million dollar man

Soon Tom is in his life
Cause Gatsby loves his wife
They ask her who she loves
And over this they fight
Soon Daisy’s lost her mind
Cause Gatsby hit rewind
She lost control that night
To Myrtle she was blind
Oh, Gatsby takes the blame
To clear his lover’s name
But here comes Mr. Wilson
To take away his fame
He shot him in the head
Shot him now he’s dead
Nick rushes to his side
But all his blood is bled
Oh, everybody would see
His grand old parties
But now no one even cares
He died as lonely as can

Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Oh Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Oh Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Oh Gatsby, Great Gatsby
He’s the million dollar man

Oh, oh, oh!
Yeah Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Oh Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Gatsby, Great Gatsby
Ohhhhhhhhh
He’s the million dollar man
