Paul Kelly
Would You be my Friend?
Released: 2001
No capo, standard tuning.

C                        Am
If I fell into confusion
C                           Am
Got scared but couldn't say
C                             Am
If I lost my rhyme and reason
          F                       G
And threw away the gift of grace
                Am
Would you be my friend?

C Am

C                                Am
If they said I don't deserve you
C                            Am
That my credit was no good
C                                       Am
If they told you I'm not worthy of your love
    F                                   G
And you should cut me like you cut dead wood
                Am        G
Would you be my friend?
                C
Would you be my friend?

C Am x2

C                                  Am
And if you heard that I was on the town
C                           Am
Pissing loudly on your name
C                                          Am
Would you find me, would you face me down?
            F                       G
Though your ears burned with shame
                Am      G
Would you be my friend?
                Am       G
Would you be my friend?
                C        Am
Would you be my friend?

C Am

C                                     Am
And if I said I wished I'd never been born
C                             Am
And my mouth could only curse
C                                 Am
If I'd passed the point of no return
F                     G
Like a poor, puking child in church
                Am      G
Would you be my friend?
                Am      G
Would you be my friend?
                Am      G
Would you be my friend?
        C          Am
My only friend

C Am

C             Am
My only friend... (x4)
