My Old Friend

**Capo 4**


Intro:  F  C  F  C

        Am        Em7
My old friend I recall
     F       C    Dm            G
The times we had hanging on my wall
            Am            Em7
I wouldn't trade them for gold
             F             C
Cause they laugh and they cry me
      F            C
They somehow sanctify me
         F            C              G
They're woven in the stories I have told

And tell again

        Am            Em7
My old friend I apologize
         F                C
For the years that have passed since the
Dm                G
Last time you and I
       Am            Em7
Dusted off those memories
         F              C
But the runnin' and the races
     F              C
The people and the places
           F                C            G
There was always somewhere else I had to be
                            Am
And time gets thin my old friend

            F               C
Don't know why, don't know why
            F               C
Don't know why, don't know why


Break:  F    C    F

        Am                    Em7
My old friend this song's for you
         F          C
Cause a few simple verses was
     Dm                G
The least that I could do
             Am                 Em7
To tell the world that you were here
           F            C
Cause the love and the laughter
      F           C
Will live on long after
F           C               G
All of the sadness and the tears
                         Am
We'll meet again my old friend

     F        C
Goodbye, goodbye
     F        C
Goodbye, goodbye
         F              C
My old friend, my old friend
    F
Goodbye...
