E                             F#m
Had a friend the other day he got in over his head
A                             E
Went out for big money and he wound up lying dead
E                                  F#m
They stabbed him in the back as he was to get his share
       A                                B
And he went out knowing life can be unfair
   E          A              B          E
Oh friend why did you try so hard to pretend
                A                B               E
That you could beat your own gut feelings in the end
   F#m                  B                    E       B7
Oh we're gonna miss you round here  good old friend
E                                     F#m
He'd always  been so careful bout the things he'd done before
 A                               E
Never stepped on anyone he never came in their back door
                   F#m
But that night he broke one of his own rules
        A                              B
And he went out knowing life can be so cruel
    E                 A      B            E
Old friend why did you try so hard to pretend
               A                 B               E
That you could beat your own gut feelings in the end
    F#m                 B                    E
Oh we're gonna miss you round here  good old friend
