D MajorD             G+G     D MajorD
Hey old friend, I came to see you today
G+G      D MajorD             G+G    D MajorD
I’m sorry I couldn’t be here when they laid you down
                  G+G         D MajorD
The way things are going at work I just couldn’t get away
G+G  D MajorD                   G+G      D MajorD
I can’t believe the way this small town is growing everyday
FF            D MajorD   G+G          D MajorD
Remember that time your mamma caught us with those cigarettes
FF        G+G             D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
Every time your girlfriend called you got upset
              G+G    D MajorD
Did you ever marry, do you have any kids?
                 G+G           D MajorD
You talked about joinin the Army did you ever find the nerve?
                        G+G      D MajorD
We were so hell bent on going to State, did you ever go that far
                     G+G     D MajorD
I took a job in the oil field by then, I needed the cash
FF       G+G              D MajorD
Remember that one time that guy punched me in the mouth
FF          G+G       D MajorD      G+G  D MajorD
I never thought we’d make it out of there alive
D MajorD                   G+G     D MajorD
It’s crazy, just the other day, I had you on my mind
                       G+G       D MajorD
I saw your folks in church last June, hadn’t seen them in years
G+G  D MajorD
They told me what your sister went through
        G+G     D MajorD
I had to fight back the tears

She was strong enough to deal with us two
     G+G    D MajorD
she could beat anything
     FF       G+G            D MajorD
Remember that time the police chased us through downtown
   FF     G+G        D MajorD      G+G  D MajorD
Told me not to worry “I’ll lie for you”

         G+G                D MajorD
Well old friend, I think it’s getting kinda late
                   G+G      D MajorD
I’ll try not to be a stranger when I come back to town

I’ll set this bottle of Jim Beam by your headstone and flowers
             G+G       D MajorD
I know the seal is broken but I couldn’t drink alone
             G+G     D MajorD
Hey old friend I came to see you today
