For An Old Friend

Em

[Verse]
                   C       D      
I was away in some distant country
    Em

              C                 
When a friend phoned through the 
 D       Am
news
             G        D           
The line was bad and I couldn't 
      Em
hear
              C   D           Em
And the story was confused
     C                  D         
They say you'd been out drinking
  Em

                C         D        
And having your usual wild time
Am

                 G           D    
You were driving home just a 
              Em
little too fast
          C       D       Em   C   D
You never made it home

Em               C          
Then I remembered the times we 
   D
travelled around
    Em        C               D
How we'd drive on through the night
   Am           G                  
We were passing smokes and telling 
D
jokes
        Em           C           
As the road stretched out in the 
D        Em
light
          C          D
We always shared our money
Em             C        D         Am
We were always broke it seemed
              G         D
But fame was around the corner
    Em      C      D          Em 
And fortune, so we dreamed
  C   D


[Verse]
Em                   C           
When I'm drinking in some 
   D      Em
good-time bar
        C         D
I look around for you
Am                G            D
It's a habit I've got, 'cause I 
can't forget
        Em     C          D      Em
And I'm wishing it wasn't true
      C    D         Em
Maybe in a corner
         C             D
Behind a drink or two
        Am       G     D         
You'd be singing songs, having a 
             Em
good time
        C         D
Like we used to do
Am             G         D      
Let's both get drunk and have a 
             Em
good time
        C       D
Like we used to do
     Em       C            D
Yeah, like we used to do
