C
(verse)
Am Em
My Old Friend, I recall
F C Dm G
the times we had hangin' on my wall
Am Em
I wouldn't trade them for gold.
F C F C
they laugh and they cry me, somehow sanctify me,
F C Dm G
they're woven in the stories I have told, and tell again
(verse 2)
Am Em
My old friend I apologize
F C Dm G
For the years that have passed since the last time you and I
Am E
Dusted off those memories
F C F G
the running and the races, the people and the places
F C G G
there was always somewhere else I had to be, and time gets thin
Am
My old friend

(verse 3)
Am Em
My old friend, this song's for you
F C Dm G
'Cause a few simple verses is the least that I could do
Am Em
To tell the world you were here
F C F G
'Cause the love and the laughter will live on long after
F C G
All of the sadness and the tears.
G Am
We'll meet again, my old friend.
(tag 2)

Goodbye, goodbye
