My Friend (So Long)

Intro:
E, Ab, D, G


Verse:
E             Ab        
I heard your record on the 
   D         G          C        
telephone, it was my cousin Joan
     F#

              A                C
She picked it up from the Top 40 
Rack and then
E             Ab           D     
I read interview in Rolling 
 G              C         F#
Stone, You threw the boys a bone
         A          C
And so I genuinely felt obliged to 
call
E          Ab             D     
I know you never meant to hurt 
     G              C          F#
us man, we're just a baby band
             A             C
You found a quicker way to scale the
 Wall of Fame


Pre-Chorus:
B               G
The situation's awfully dim
B                 G
Should we up, and go with him...
C B A G F#
No way!


Continues after the ad
Chorus:
D                         B      
We know exactly where you are and
                 D
 you're gone, my friend
D                             
Don't know exactly where you're 
  B
coming from
       E            A
You've gone away
D                         B      
We know exactly where you are and
                 D
 you're gone, my friend
D                             
Don't know exactly where you're 
  B
coming from
        G    F#   F
Have you gone astray?


Verse:
E           Ab      D   G      
I saw your video on VH1, looks 
         C            F#
like you spent a ton
            A              C
How does it feel to be the flavor 
for a spell
E        Ab             D       
And I remember when you used to 
    G       C            F#
say, "Jesus Is The Way,"
        A                     B
I never thought I'd see your light 
begin to fade


(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)

Bridge:         (No guitar)

Don't think we don't miss you  (We 
think about you every day)

We still love you anyway  (Cause 
Love don't go away)

There's still this burning question 
(I got to know)

WHY????????


E, Ab, D, G, C, F#, A, C  2x

(Chorus 2x)
