Verse 1:
G       C
Lesson one on how to be a confidante, you
G           C
put on your helmet and pray to any of the Gods you
G             C
heard about on Sunday and one of these days it'll
G         C
all belong to you. Amen.
G           C
The wind blows and the daffodils grow in the
G          C
borders, bushes and breadbins and I'm in
G         C

G              C
Have more in common with the veterens and conmen with
G      C
sandwiches. Sandwiches.
G         C
Waves and waves of strawberry lace my

hungry. Woe is me.
G          C
Back to the basics, lets start again, we'll

get it right this time in the end. The
G         C
fire of Satan will have no reason to
G   C
burn. Burn!
G              C
Where did that come from? I seem to have become a
G      C
creature of sorts. I guess I'll
G          C
sort the linens into darks and lights and
G     C
delicates. Like me. But I'm a
G        C
big strong man, Make no mistake, and I'll
G     C
break into song. And when the
G       C
whammy bar goes  All of my
G         C
friends might sing along. If I'm


Chorus:
G    C
Lucky
I'll never have
G          C
another friend like you.
G    C
Lucky
I'll never have
G          C
another friend like you.
G    C
Lucky
I'll never have
G          C
another friend like you.
G    C
Lucky
I'll never have
G          C
another friend like you.

Verse 2:
G       C
Lesson two on how to be a confidante you
G          C
