Bb Eb Bb Eb


[Verse 1]
Bb                    Ab
  When the sun got big, and the night came down
Eb                        Bb
  We used to share a drink, and let the demons out
Bb                          Ab
  We let the good times rock, you made the bad times roll
Eb                      Bb
  We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul


[Chorus]
Ab    Eb                 Bb   Eb Bb Eb
  Old friends, in better times


[Verse 2]
Bb                           Ab
  And when the going got hard, when times were tough
Eb                            Bb
  We put our backs to the wall, you used to strut your stuff
Bb                     Ab
  With a head held high, and a heart so big
Eb                   Bb
  One fist at the sky, and shake a leg


[Chorus]
Ab    Eb                Bb   Eb Bb Eb
  Old friends in better times


[Bridge]
Cm                            Bb
  Even though, even though we miss you now
F/C                                        C
   Look forward don't look back, we'll get by somehow

  Old friend of mine


[Verse 3]
Bb                       Ab
  And so I raise my glass, in a last goodbye
Eb                         Bb
  Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die
Bb                        Ab
  The best thing I can say, after all this time, is
Eb                    Bb
You were a real friend, of mine


[Chorus]
Ab    Eb                Bb
  Old friends in better times
