         BEN'S MY FRIEND
          SUN KIL MOON


INTRO: F minorFm  Eb MajorEb

VERSE:
Gm7Gm7               AbAb
 I woke up this morning, August 3rd
                     Eb MajorEb
It's been a pretty slow and uneventful summer

Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe
 C minorCm                   Eb MajorEb
Went to New Orleans and went to see my family
                AbAb
Woke up this morning and it occurred
                     C minorCm
I needed one more track to finish up my record
                  Eb MajorEb
I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired
                          C minorCm
Laid on my bed, too hung, a little down, a little tired
                   Eb MajorEb
Met my girl and we walked down Union Street

I was scared and my head was in a bunch of places
              Gm7Gm7
Bought a $350 pair of lampshades
                   AbAb
And we ate at Perry's and I ordered crab cakes

      Gm7Gm7
Blue crab cakes
      AbAb
Blue crab cakes
      Gm7Gm7
Blue crab cakes


VERSE:
            C minorCm                   Eb MajorEb
She said I seemed distracted and asked what was going on with me

I said I can't explain it and it's a middle age thing
                  Bb majorBb
She said okay and ate her eggs Benedict
                           AbAb
And I looked at the walls cluttered with sports bar shit

      Gm7Gm7
Sports bar shit
      AbAb
Sports bar shit
      Gm7Gm7  BbM7Bbm7
Sports bar shit

   Gm7Gm7
Ba ba ba
   AbAb
Ba ba ba
   Gm7Gm7  F minorFm Eb MajorEb  F minorFm Eb MajorEb
Ba ba ba

VERSE:
F minorFm
Got on the phone and I called my mother
                         Eb MajorEb
And called my father, talked a little bit with my sister

She's got a new boyfriend, he's a deer hunter

And she's getting used to venison
C minorCm
And my dad's still fighting with his girlfriend
 G minorGm
About his flirting with the girls in Panera Bread
  Eb MajorEb
My mom is good but sounded out of breath
  G minorGm           Fm7Fm7     AbAb
I worry so much about her, I worry to death
Fm7Fm7     Gm7Gm7
 I worry to death
           AbAb
I worry about her to death
Fm7Fm7     Gm7Gm7
 I worry to death


VERSE:
F minorFm
The other night I went and saw The Postal Service
                      Eb MajorEb
Ben's my friend but getting there was the worst

Trying to park and getting up the hill
                             F minorFm
And find a spot amongst the drunk kids staring at their cells

Standing at the back with the crowd of eight thousand
                  Eb MajorEb
I thought of Ben when I met him in 2000

At a festival in Spain
                           C minorCm
He was on the small stage then and I didn't know his name

Now he's singing at the Greek and he's busting moves
    Bb majorBb                Eb MajorEb
And my legs were hurting and my feet were too
                          G minorGm
I called him after, said I'll skip the backstage hi/bye
                 F minorFm      AbAb
But thanks for the nice music and all the exercise
F minorFm             Gm7Gm7
And we laughed and it was alright
              AbAb
And we laughed and it was alright
  Fm7Fm7    Gm7Gm7
And it was alright


VERSE:
        G minorGm
There's a fine line between a middle-aged guy with a backstage pass
                      Eb MajorEb
And a guy with a gut hanging around like a jackass

Everybody there was twenty years younger than me

I'll leave with this, not my fondest memory
  G minorGm       AbAb
I carried my legs back down and then I gave
              Eb MajorEb
My backstage passes to two cute asian girls

I drove to my place near Tahoe
 C minorCm                         F minorFm
Got in my hot tub and I thought well that's how it goes

And it was quiet and I was listening to the crickets

And Ben's still out there, selling lots of tickets
   Eb MajorEb
And though I?m contented, there?s a tinge of competitiveness

But Ben's my friend and I know he gets it
 C minorCm
Then in a couple of days my meltdown passed
 Bb majorBb                  Eb MajorEb
Back to the studio doing twelve hours shifts

Singing a song about one thing or another
 G minorGm                   AbAb
Another day behind the microphone this summer


OUTRO:
      F minorFm  Gm7Gm7
This Tenderloin summer
        AbAb
This Tenderloin summer
        Gm7Gm7   F minorFm
This Tenderloin summer
   Cm7Cm7
Ba ba ba
   AbAb
Ba ba ba
   C minorCm  F minorFm Eb MajorEb  F minorFm Eb MajorEb
Ba ba ba
