 F                  C
Another red letter day
       Dm
So the pound has dropped
        Am              F     Bb
And the children are creating
                  Gm
The other half run away
       C
Taking all the cash

And leaving you with the lumber

F                       A
Got a pain in the chest
             Dm
Doctors on strike
                   F
What you need is a rest
        Gm
It's so easy, love
               C
But you've got friends you can trust

Bb              G
Friends will be friends
               F
When you're in need of love
           Dm                C
They give care and attention
                A
Friends will be friends
            Dm
When you're through with life
        A
And all hope is lost
      F
Hold out your hand
        C      B°          Bb  C
'Cause friends will be friends

Right till the end

 F                    C
Now it's a beautiful day
    Dm
The postman delivered
    Am               F
A letter from your lover
Bb                 Gm
Only a phone call away
C
You tried to track him down

But somebody stole his number

F                  A
As a matter of fact
                        Dm
You're getting used to life
                        F
Without him in your way

        Gm
It's so easy now
                C
'Cause you got friends you can trust

 Bb              B°
Friends will be friends
               F
When you're in need of love
               Dm                C
They give you care and attention
C                A
Friends will be friends
             Dm
When you're through with life
         A           Db
And all hope is lost
      F
Hold out your hand
         Cbm             Bb    C
'Cause friends will be friends

Right till the end
