Verse 1:
Bb                    Ab
  When the sun got big, and the night came down
Eb                        Bb
  We used to share a drink, and let the demons out
Bb                          Ab
  We let the good times rock, you made the bad times roll
Eb                      Bb
  We used to laugh a lot, you had a lot of soul

  And when the going got hard, when times were tough
Eb                            Bb
  We put our backs to the wall, you used to strut your stuff
Bb                     Ab
  With a head held high, and a heart so big
Eb                   Bb
  One fist at the sky, and shake a leg

Chorus:
Ab    Eb                Bb   Eb Bb Eb
  Old friends in better times

   Look forward don't look back, we'll get by somehow

  Old friend of mine

Verse 3:
Bb                       Ab
  And so I raise my glass, in a last goodbye
Eb                         Bb
  Sleep in peace old friend, for me you'll never die
Bb                        Ab
  The best thing I can say, after all this time, is
Eb                    Bb
You were a real friend, of mine

Chorus:
Ab    Eb                Bb
  Old friends in better times
