[Verse 1]
       C#m       G#m
My old friend, I recall...
     A        E    F#m          B
the times we had hangin' on my wall.
             C#m            G#m
I wouldn't trade, them for gold..
            A              E            A             E
cause they laugh and they cry me..they somehow sanctify me..
         A             E             B
they're woven in the stories I have told... and tell again


      C#m              G#m
My old friend... I apologize...
         A                E              F#m               B
for the years that have passed since the last time you and I.
        C#m            G#m
Dusted off those memories...
      A              E       A                E
the running and the races, the people and the places,
     A               E             B                      
was always somewhere else I had to be and time gets thin, 
     C#m
my old friend.
       A    
dunno why-hyy,
       E
dunno why~hyy, 
       A    
dunno why-hyy,
       E
dunno why~hyy,

[Verse 2]
      C#m                      G#m
My old friend..this song's for you...
        A           E              F#m              B
cause a few simple verses was the least that I can do,
             C#m                  G#m
to tell the world, that you were here..
           A             E             A           E
cause the love and the laughter, will live on long after,
A           E              B
all of the sadness and the tears...we'll meet again..
 
        C#m
my old friend.
      A      
Goodbye-hy,
     E 
goodbye-hy
      A      
Goodbye-hy,
     E 
goodbye-hy
       A
My old friend.   
       E
My old friend.  
     E    
Goodbye-hy,
     E 
goodbye-hy
