[Chorus]
             G
My old drunk friend,
             C        D
it's good to see you again
      C             D                         G
Every time you walk in I should run the other way

             G
My old drunk friend,
       C             D
you're lookin' kinda thin
        C                D                       G
I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say


[Verse 1]
     C                    G
I'll buy you a drink when I get into town
    C                              G
And we'll go out walking 'till our boots are run down
      C                                    G
We'll walk through this town where all the alleys are haunted
           C                          G
Though the streets are deserted these ghosts remain undaunted
           C        A            D
And you're laughing louder in my ear
N.C.                 G
with every bottle of beer

My old drunk friend,
             C        D
it's good to see you again
      C             D                         G
Every time you walk in I should run the other way

             G
My old drunk friend,
       C             D
you're lookin' kinda thin
        C                D                       G
I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say


[Verse 2]
              C                             G
I should have moved to New York City, but I never was that cool
       C                                   G
I just languished in the Midwest like some old romantic fool
        C                              G
And the streetlights shine down on the bottles we have broken
          C                                  G
'Till the road is paved with diamonds from a thousand lost love tokens
       C          A          D
And my logic just seems more clear
N.C.                 G
with every bottle of beer


[Chorus]
             G
My old drunk friend,
             C        D
it's good to see you again
      C             D                         G
Every time you walk in I should run the other way

             G
My old drunk friend,
       C             D
you're lookin' kinda thin
        C                D                       G
I won't ask where you've been, you never want to say


[Outro]
             G
My old drunk friend,
             C              D
we watch the moonlight grow dim
       C                D                      G
As the long night gives in to the dim light of day
