My Old Friend

Capo on II

(Em) (Am) (D) (G)

The (G) rain was cold in (G/f#) Cedar Town, the (Em) streetlights hurt my eyes

The (Am) shoes were wore out on my feet, the (D) air was stiff with lies

Not a (G) thousand lords or (G/f#) prophets know the (Em) pain that filled my head

A (C) message come from (G) Utah saying my (C) long lost son was dead

So I turn to (G) you, my (D/f#) old friend, you’ll stick (C) by me to the (Am) end

With your (G) dark and valiant (Em) magic all the (C) heart-aches that you mend

(G) My old friend (Em) (Am) (D) (G)

My husband left me years ago, the children they’re all grown

Them scars from the fire won’t ever leave me alone

O how many things I’d change if I could live my life again

Somehow it ain’t worth living when there’s nothing left to win

So I turn to you, my old friend, you’ll stick by me to the end

With your dark and valiant magic all the heart-aches that you mend

My old friend

When I had to fight I fought and when I had to die I died

And when I had to live without my legs O heaven knows I tried

But what’s the use, who really cares, please tell me who’s to blame

We always seems so different even though we’re all the same

So I turn to you, my old friend, you’ll stick by me to the end

With your dark and valiant magic all the heart-aches that you mend

My old friend
