Good Friends


          Aadd9Aadd9
I have to come and see you--


Maybe once or twice a year--


               F#m7F#m7     E/F#E/F# F#m7F#m7
I think nothing would suit me better

(Right now)


Than some downtown atmosphere ...


E minor 7Em7 D/ED/E               E MajorE
     In the dance halls and the galleries


E minor 7Em7 D/ED/E
      Or betting in the OTB


Am7Am7   G/AG/A     Am7Am7  G/AG/A
Synchro nized--like magic


           D/AD/A
Good friends you and me


E/A            A augmentedA
   The sun goes down in Jersey


   E/A       A augmentedA
Rises over Little Italy--

               E/F#E/F#      F#m7F#m7
We could talk it up 'til the block gets up


E/F#E/F#  F#m7F#m7
Mmmm  Mmmm  Swapping stories


E minor 7Em7      D/ED/E           E MajorE
   Sitting around in some all night zoo


E minor 7Em7     D/ED/E
Watching it run like a movie


C/DC/D  G/DG/D     C/DC/D  G/DG/D
Synchronized--like magic


           D MajorD
Good friends you and me


Bm7Bm7       D/F#D/F#
  No hearts of gold


  D MajorD     D/AD/A  A augmentedA      D/AD/A
No nerves of steel


Bm7Bm7           D/ED/E E MajorE       D/AD/A
  No blame for what we can   and cannot feel


|Bb/CBb/C    |     |      |       |


E/A            A augmentedA
  But now it's cloak and dagger


   E/A         A augmentedA
Walk on eggshells and analyze


          E/F#E/F#  F#m7F#m7   E/F#E/F#  F#m7F#m7
Every particle of difference    oooo  oooo


Gets like mountains in our eyes


E minor 7Em7   D/ED/E           E MajorE
    You say,   "You're unscrupulous!"


E minor 7Em7   D/ED/E
You say,   "You're naive!"


C/DC/D   G/DG/D     C/DC/D  G/DG/D
Synchro nized--like magic


           D MajorD
Good friends you and me


Bm7Bm7       D/F#D/F#
  No hearts of gold


  D MajorD     D/AD/A
No nerves of steel


  Bm7Bm7        D/ED/E  E MajorE       D/AD/A
No blame for what we can    and cannot feel


|Bb/CBb/C    |     |      |      |


E/A            A augmentedA
  Sometimes change comes at you


    E/A      A augmentedA
Like a broadside accident


           E/F#E/F#  F#m7F#m7
There is chaos to the order


E/F#E/F# F#m7F#m7        E/F#E/F#
   Random things you can't prevent


E minor 7Em7 D/ED/E                   E MajorE
     There could be trouble around the corner


E minor 7Em7 D/ED/E
     There could be beauty down the street


C/DC/D  G/DG/D     C/DC/D  G/DG/D
Synchronized--like magic


           D/AD/A
Good friends you and me


Bm7Bm7       D/F#D/F#
  No hearts of gold


  D MajorD     D/AD/A
No nerves of steel


  Bm7Bm7        D/ED/E  E MajorE       C/DC/D   G/DG/D
No blame for what we can   and cannot feel


Bm7Bm7       D/F#D/F#
  No nerves of steel


  D MajorD     D/AD/A
No hearts of gold


  Bm7Bm7        D/ED/E   E MajorE     G/AG/A
No blame for what we can and can't con trol


 Bb/CBb/C
     Good friends you and me

     Good friends you and me

     ..repeat and fade
