The album key is F, but I think Pete plays it in G and tunes a full step down.
[Intro]
G Am F C Am (x2)
[Verse 1]
G Am
I'm feelin' so good right now
F C G
There's a handsome boy tells me how I changed his path
Am
He buys me a brandy
F C Am G
Or could it be he's really just after my ass?
Am
He likes the clothes I wear
F C G
He says he likes a man to dress in season
Am F C
But no one else ever stares, he's being so kind
Am D (no pause)
What's the reason?
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
A
You can count 'em on one hand
D A Bm G A
How many friends have I really got?
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
C G C G C C/B (x20010) Am7 Am7/G D
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
[Verse 2]
G Am
Suddenly it's a silver screen
F C Am G
And a face so beautiful that I have to cry out
Am
Everybody hears me
F C Am G
But, I look like a fool, now, with a cry and I shy out
Am
She knows all of my friends
F C Am G
But it's nice to find a woman who'll stay on late
Am
But now I think I've reached the end
F C Am D
I wonder in the dead of night, how do I rate?
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
A
You can count 'em on one hand
D A Bm G A
How many friends have I really got?
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
C G C G C C/B (x20010) Am7 Am7/G D
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
[Bridge]
Dm Dm/C (pinky on A3)
It's all like a dream you know
C G
When you're still up early in the morning
Am G F F/E
And you all sit together to watch the sun come through
Dm Dm/C
But things don't look so good
Bb (bass Bb/A)
When you could use a bit of warning
Gm A/E (?) A
Then you know that no one will ever speak the truth about you.
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
A
You can count 'em on one hand
D A Bm G A
How many friends have I really got?
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
C G C G C C/B (x20010) Am7 Am7/G D
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
[Verse 3]
G Am
When I first signed the contract,
F C Am G
it was more than a handshake then, I know it still is.
Am
But there's a plain fact
F C Am G
We talk so much shit behind each other's backs, I get the willies
Am F C
People know nothing about their own soft guts
Am G
So how come they can sum us up
Am F C
Without suffering all the hype we've known
Am D
How come they bum us up
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
A
You can count 'em on one hand
D A Bm G A
How many friends have I really got?
D A Bm G
How many friends have I really got?
C G C G C C/B (x20010) Am7 Am7/G D
That love me, that want me, that'll take me as I am?
