Ole buddy, ole pal
                             G
I need to talk to you right now
  D                     A               G
You're the only one that just might understand
D                  A
Ole buddy, right now
                                    G
It seems the ground's too hard to plow
 D              A                         G
And this old mule I got is cussing me again
D
Ole buddy, ole pal
                           G
I've been on this road awhile
D                    A                      G
And I can't see for me what's in it in the end
D

Well, I won't tell you no lies
                             G
If you see tears are in my eyes
D                    A                            G
Its cause I'm running with my face against the wind
Am                  G                        D
When it rains, it pours like it never has before
Am                         G                   D
 When the sun shines, it burns me through my shirt
Am                     G                       D
The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door
C                                              G
I've got a broken heart, but I can't feel it hurt
D
Ole buddy, ole pal
                                G
Nothing's changed in this old town
D                                                   G
 The welcome sign still looks like it's about to fall
D                            A
I've been helping out your mom
             Em          G
And I took Becky to the prom
D                     A                           G
But don't you worry man, it ain't like that at all
D                    A
Coach Davidson got fired
                           G
But if you ask him, he retired
D                               A                  G
And he wasn't taking all them pills they had him on
D                                A
Wish I could tell you face to face
      Em                           G
They hired your dad to take his place
D                               A                     G
And he's been runnin' us like dogs since you been gone
Am                     G                       D
And when it rains it pours like it never has before
Am                      G                      D
When the sun shines it burns me through my shirt
Am                   G                          D
The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door
C                                           G
 I got a broken heart but I can't feel it hurt
D                 A                             G

They put your picture up down at the city hall
D                                  Em                      G
Next to a flag and a plaque that said you never made it back
D                             A           G
And in a few words you're a hero to us all
Am                  G                        D
When it rains it pours like it never has before
Am                    G                       D
When the sun shines it burns me through my shirt

The wind cuts like razors when I open up the door

D                        A                        G
Ole buddy, ole pal, I need to talk to you right now
D                    A                     G
But I'll just drive by your old place again
D                        A                       G
Ole buddy, ole pal, if I could call you up somehow
D                       A
I'd lie and tell you that I'm gettin' by
                     G
Without my best friend
