For An Old Friend

Em

[Verse]
                   C       D          Em
I was away in some distant country
              C                  D       Am
When a friend phoned through the news
             G        D                 Em
The line was bad and I couldn't hear
              C   D           Em
And the story was confused
     C                  D           Em
They say you'd been out drinking
                C         D        Am
And having your usual wild time
                 G           D                  Em
You were driving home just a little too fast
          C       D       Em   C   D
You never made it home

[Verse]
Em               C             D
Then I remembered the times we travelled around
    Em        C               D
How we'd drive on through the night
   Am           G                  D
We were passing smokes and telling jokes
        Em           C           D        Em
As the road stretched out in the 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   C   D
And fortune, so we dreamed

[Verse]
Em                   C              D      Em
When I'm drinking in some 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                      Em
You'd be singing songs, having a good time
        C         D
Like we used to do
Am             G         D                   Em
Let's both get drunk and have a good time
        C       D
Like we used to do
     Em       C            D
Yeah, like we used to do
