 When the sun got big, and the night came down
Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
 We used to share a drink, and let the demons out
Bb majorBb             AbAb

 We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul

Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
 We put our backs to the wall, you used to strut your stuff
Bb majorBb           AbAb
 With a head held high, and a heart so big
Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb
 One fist at the sky, and shake a leg

 Old friends in better times

 Old friend of mine

Verse 3:

 And so I raise my glass, in a last goodbye
Eb MajorEb             Bb majorBb
 Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die

 The best thing I can say, after all this time, is

You were a real friend, of mine
