My old friend ? Sam Amidon 1. Bm D My old friend I recall G D Em A times we had are hanging on my wall Bm D I wouldn't trade them for gold G D they laughed and they cried me G D and somehow sanctified me G D A they're woven in the stories I have told and tell again 2. Bm D My old friend I apologize G D Em A for the years that have passed since the last time you and I Bm D dusted off those memories G D running in the races G D people and the places G D A there was always somewhere else I had to be Bm time gets thin my old friend G D G D Don't know why Don't know why Don't know why Don't know why 3. Bm D 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 D to tell the world that you were here G D the love and the laughter G D 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!
