My friend david was a good kid
A augmentedA E MajorE
He had my back i always knew he did
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
And he was different than most, and maybe i was too
B minorBm D MajorD
And hanging out with the in crowd just wasn't our thang
A augmentedA E MajorE
There was a whole lot more than we could see on these plains
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
Well some people just seem to get stuck, and hang around
B minorBm D MajorD
It's college or trade school for those with the means
A augmentedA E MajorE
There's never been any small town dreams for those in between
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
Yeah the poor folks they go to work or they go to war
B minorBm D MajorD
I did fifteen hundreds days in the corps
A augmentedA E MajorE
And i got back nothin looked the same anymore
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
I got on with the local police, it just seemed to fit
B minorBm
Things have changed
(D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m F#m7F#m7 D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE)
B minorBm D MajorD
By then david had a daughter and a son
A augmentedA E MajorE
And a wrap sheet to prove all the time that he'd done
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
He was just a burned out beat down shell, of my old friend
B minorBm D MajorD
And on a three day binge he was speeding through town,
A augmentedA E MajorE
And i bumped the wailers just to try and slow him down
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
He didn't know that it was me, and he took off
B minorBm
Oh how things change
D MajorD A augmentedA
And i found his truck in the floodplain upside down
E MajorE F# minorF#m
It was a hell of a rain i didn't know if he'd drowned,
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Or if he died on impact. it must have rolled three times
D MajorD A augmentedA
Yeah the only thing to make matters worse
E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE
Is that his mama's a late night er nurse
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
And he was doa. she just about lost her mind
(D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE F# minorF#m F#m7F#m7 D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE)
B minorBm D MajorD
David's wife drops by every once in a while,
A augmentedA E MajorE
And childhood stories always make her smile,
B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA
But somehow we always go back to that day...
D MajorD A augmentedA
When i found his truck in the floodplain upside down
E MajorE F# minorF#m
It was a hell of a rain i didn't know if he'd drowned,
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Or if he died on impact. it must have rolled three times
D MajorD A augmentedA
Yeah the only thing to make matters worse
E MajorE F# minorF#m E MajorE
Is that his mama's a late night er nurse
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
And he was doa. she just about lost her mind
B minorBm
Ain't it the times
