Chris Farley

G                    D      
First time I saw him he was 
Cadd9        G
sweeter than s***.
G                         D      
Plaid jacket and belt too tight 
                  Cadd9   G
and he wasn't even doin' a bit.
G                                 
Then he cartwheeled around the 
            D                 
room, and slow-danced with the 
          Cadd9
cleaning lady.
G        Gmaj9   Em              
He was a one man party. You know 
 Cadd9                         D  
I'm talkin' about I'm talkin' 
                   G
about my friend Chris Farley.

[Verse 2]
G                    D         
On Saturday night my man would 
Cadd9  G
always deliver.
G                                 
Whether he was the bumblebee girl 
   D           Cadd9         
or livin' in a van down by the 
  G
river.
G                                 
He loved the Bears and Ditka, 
      D                  Cadd9
danced at Chippendale's with Swayze.
G                                 
When they replaced his coffee with
            D            Cadd9
 Folgers he went f***in' crazy.
G                         D      
The sexiest Gap girl, and 
         Cadd9
Meatloaf in the band.
G                      Gmaj9     
Without him there'd be no lunch 
       Em
lady in Lunch Lady Land.
    Cadd9                      
You know I'm thinkin' about I'm 
 D                           G
thinkin' about my boy Chris Farley.

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
G                         D      
After a show he'd drink a quart 
of Jack Daniels, and stick the 
Cadd9               G
bottle right up his a**.

G                                 
But hung over as hell that 
  D                      Cadd9 
catholic boy always showed up to 
   G
morning mass.
                Em                 
We'd tell him, "Slow down you'll 
             D
end up like Belushi or Candy".
          G                 Gmaj9 
He said, "Those guys are my 
       Em
heroes, it's all fine and dandy."
   Cadd9                           
I ain't making that s*** up that's 
     D                          G
the truth about my boy Chris Farley.

G Gmaj9 Em

[Bridge]
Em                                
I saw him in the office cryin' 
                 Cadd9             
with his headphones on listenin' to
                          Em
 a KC and the Sunshine Band song.
I said, "Buddy how the hell is that 
              Cadd9
making you so sad?"
                    C          
Then he laughed and said, "Just 
                   D       G
thinkin' about my dad."

[Verse 4]
G                        D       
The last big hang we had was a 
             Cadd9   G
Timmy Meadow's wedding party.
G                            D   
We laughed our balls off all 
               Cadd9    G
night long, all because of Farley
      Cadd9                    
But a few months later the party 
D                    G      
came to an end. We flew out to 
     Gmaj9      Em
Madison to bury our friend.
Cadd9                   D   
Nothing was harder than sayin' 
                   G           
goodbye, except watchin' Chris' 
    Gmaj9        Em
father have his turn to cry.

Cadd9 D  G
hmmmmmm

[Verse 5]
G                                 
Hey buddy lifes moved on now, but 
D                  Cadd9   G
you still bring us so much joy.
G                                 
Make my kids laugh with your 
   D         Cadd9 G
YouTube clips, or Tommy Boy.
               Cadd9               
Well, when they ask me who was the 
         D                         
funniest guy I ever knew. I tell 
  G          Gmaj9     Em
em' hands down without a doubt it's 
you.
        Cadd9                    
Yeah, I miss hangin' out watchin' 
     D                    G       
you try to get laid, but most of 
      Gmaj9             Em
all I miss watchin' you f*** with 
Spade
         Cadd9                     
Well, it ended how you wanted, but 
D
still wish you were here with me.
    G                   Gmaj9     
And we were gettin' on a plane to 
   Em             Cadd9  D
go shoot Grown Ups 3.
                     G    Gmaj9   
Yeah, life ain't the same without 
    Em
you boy.
           Cadd9                   
And that's why I'm singing about 
  D                             G 
I'm singin' about my friend Chris 
Gmaj9 Em
Faaaaarley.

[Single strum on these]
          Cadd9                  
And if we make enough noise maybe 
       D
he'll hear us.


Give it up for the great Chris
