Greatest Friend chords by The Incredible String Band

Intro: A  E  B7  E

                      A       E
The greatest friend I have in life
                       A
Has brought me here to dwell
                  E
Awhile among your green, green hills
                  A
And by the watery well
                    E
The water from that wondrous well
                    A
Has made my eyes to see
                        E
And loosed my tongue to sing with joy
            B7         E
That such a friend can be

(A  E  B7  E)

                      A       E
The greatest friend I have in life
                     A
Was hidden long from me
                    E
Above the mountains cold and wide
                   A
Beneath the sacred tree
                       E
That sacred tree whose bark I touched
                         A
Whose leaves did tell to me
                       E
The ancient tales that made me sure
                B7      E
My friend would come to me

(A  E  B7  E)

                     A        E
My greatest friend a song has given
                    A
To sing where I may go
                  E
To sing among the green, green hills
                     A
And where the waters flow
                     E
The waters from that wondrous well
                     A
That made my eyes to see
                    E
And made my mind to ever show
            B7        E
My greatest friend to me

(A  E  B7  E)
