Chorus:

F#5         G#5
Were you my friend when I belonged?

A5          Bsus2
Were you my friend when I was 
strong?

F#5         G#5
Were you my friend when I was weak?

A5          Bsus2
Were you my freind when I was 
callin', crawlin', out of
my head?

The solo is in F# pentatonic, I 
believe, for any improvisers
or theory buffs.  No promises on 
this tab...Alex is very
creative and very hard to follow.  
Oh yeah, in the chorus
that Bsus2 chord looks like this:
--2-- 
--2-- 
--4-- 
--4--
