[Verse]
(A  D  A  D  G  D  F#  Bm  D A  D)
A                  D
He was a friend of mine
A                  D
He was a friend of mine
  G                        D
Everytime I think about him now
      F#                   Bm
Lord I just can't keep from crying
     D A                 D
Cause he was a friend of mine

[Verse] 
(A  D  A  D  G  D  F#  Bm  D A  D)
He died on the road
He died on the road
well,he never had enough much money
To pay his room or his board
And he was a friend of mine

[Verse] 
(A  D  A  D  G  D  F#  Bm  D A  D)
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Cause I never had too much money
And I've never been quite satisfied
And he was a friend of mine

[Verse]
(A  D  A  D  G  D  F#  Bm  D A  D)
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
A thousand miles from home
And he never harmed no one
And he was a friend of mine

[Verse] 
(A  D  A  D  G  D  F#  Bm  D A  D)
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Everytime I hear his name
Lord I just can't keep from crying
Cause he was a friend of mine
