Chorus:
E minorEm
My friend,
E minorEm
This song's for you
E minorEm
You're such a good man,
BB E minorEm
And you really ought to know
E minorEm
That when we're apart,
E minorEm
I think of you
BB
Maybe not everyday,
E minorEm
But still I do.
Verse 1:
D MajorD G+G
So I wrote this song as a present,
D MajorD (D#D#) E minorEm
I needed to tell you how much I care,
D MajorD G+G
And I hope you can whistle this sweet melody
BB E minorEm
When the road gets rough and you feel in despair
Chorus:
G+G
My friend,
G+G
This song's for you
G+G
You're such a good man,
D MajorD G+G
And you really ought to know.
G+G
That I'm so glad,
G+G
Our roads have crossed
D MajorD
If you hadn't been on my way
G+G
I'd now be lost
Verse 2:
D MajorD E minorEm
I remember that time you took me by the hand,
D MajorD (D#D#) E minorEm
When the clouds had overtaken my skies,
D MajorD G+G
Couldn't see a thing, but you showed me, my friend,
BB E minorEm
That the only light to follow was the fire in my heart.
Solo:
E minorEm
E minorEm
And sometimes, when I see you the world goes so quiet,
D MajorD E minorEm
Even clocks stop ticking for a while
E minorEm
So we open our hearts and let the Angels talk
D MajorD E minorEm
Through us as for once we let go of our pride.
