To All My Friends chords by Joey Cape

Chords with lyrics

meant for the acoustic version of the song on the "Livebirds" album made with Jon Snodgrass.
It's better if you listen to the song to see how it goes.
It's my first tab so please be gentle.

Here's a song to all my friends
 FF      G+G
I know they'd like
C majorC
I remember every drunken
FF        G+G
Night at the old dive
C majorC
Driving the ol'wreck
         FF    G+G
Trying to make it home somehow
C majorC
One more pit stop at our favorite
FF    G+G
Watering hole

C majorC           A minorAm
The ghost of christmas past
FF         G+G
Swallowed all our pride
C majorC        A minorAm
We'd open up our story books
  FF       G+G
And water down the eyes
C majorC
Our demons raised their
A minorAm
glasses singing
 FF      G+G
"I propose a toast to all my friends"
C majorC    A minorAm      FF
Who's buying the next round...

C majorC
Cup half empty cup half full
FF        G+G
Perspectives and beers
C majorC
They weren't failure
         FF       G+G
Just the regulars of my favorite year
C majorC
They come and go
Paying their toll
   FF    G+G
From mobiles homes
C majorC
Decaying old unsound minds
  FF         G+G
The ghost of cristmas failure

    C majorC        A minorAm
Dancing to the click of time
  FF     G+G
The beating of defeat
C majorC       A minorAm
Shaking in his hands
FF       G+G
A augmentedA lifetime of retreat
C majorC          A minorAm
And his regrets were ours
FF         G+G
A augmentedA time to say good-bye to all my friends
C majorC
I've been waiting so
FF    G+G
long... for you to call
My old friend

Solo (C majorC FF G+G - just like the verses)

C majorC A minorAm   FF      G+G   C majorC
To all my friends, to all my friends
  A minorAm   FF      G+G   C majorC
To all my friends, to all my friends
