(capo 2nd fret)

G  D  G  D
           Bm         F#m        G            D    Em                 A
My old friend, I recall   The times we had hanging on my wall
              Bm                 F#m                  G                     D
I wouldn't trade them for gold  Cause they laugh and they cry me
         G                  D                  G                 D                 A
They somehow sanctify me  Their woven in the stories I have told

And tell again
           Bm               F#m           G                     D
My old friend, I apologize For the years that have passed
               Em               A                  Bm                  F#m
Since the last time you and I  Dusted off those memories
            G                    D               G                     D
But the running and the races  The people and the places
            G                          D                A                                     Bm
There's always somewhere else I had to be  Time gets slim, my old friend
                 G                     D
Don't know why, don't know why
                  G                     D
Don't know why, don't know why

(BREAK)  G  D  G

           Bm                          F#m
My old friend, this song's for you
             G              D                     Em                     A
Cause a few simple verses Was the least that I could do
               Bm                         F#m
To tell the world that you were here
                G                D                G                D
Cause the love and the laughter Will live on long after
G                D                   A
All of the sadness and the tears
                                     Bm
We'll meet again, my old friend
        G            D              G            D
Goodbye, goodbye   Goodbye, goodbye
           G                      D                      G
My old friend,     my old friend        Goodbye, goodbye
