Good Friends


          Aadd9
I have to come and see you--



Maybe once or twice a year--


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

(Right now)



Than some downtown atmosphere ...


Em7 D/E               E
     In the dance halls and the galleries


Em7 D/E
      Or betting in the OTB


Am7   G/A     Am7  G/A
Synchro nized--like magic


           D/A
Good friends you and me


E/A            A
   The sun goes down in Jersey


   E/A       A
Rises over Little Italy--


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


E/F#  F#m7
Mmmm  Mmmm  Swapping stories


Em7      D/E           E
   Sitting around in some all night zoo



Em7     D/E
Watching it run like a movie


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


           D
Good friends you and me


Bm7       D/F#
  No hearts of gold


  D     D/A  A      D/A
No nerves of steel


Bm7           D/E E       D/A
  No blame for what we can   and cannot feel


|Bb/C    |     |      |       |


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


   E/A         A
Walk on eggshells and analyze


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



Gets like mountains in our eyes


Em7   D/E           E
    You say,   "You're unscrupulous!"


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


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


           D
Good friends you and me


Bm7       D/F#
  No hearts of gold


  D     D/A
No nerves of steel


  Bm7        D/E  E       D/A
No blame for what we can    and cannot feel


|Bb/C    |     |      |      |



E/A            A
  Sometimes change comes at you


    E/A      A
Like a broadside accident


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


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


Em7 D/E                   E
     There could be trouble around the corner


Em7 D/E
     There could be beauty down the street


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


           D/A
Good friends you and me


Bm7       D/F#
  No hearts of gold


  D     D/A
No nerves of steel


  Bm7        D/E  E       C/D   G/D
No blame for what we can   and cannot feel



Bm7       D/F#
  No nerves of steel


  D     D/A
No hearts of gold


  Bm7        D/E   E     G/A
No blame for what we can and can't con trol


 Bb/C
     Good friends you and me

     Good friends you and me

     ..repeat and fade
