My old friend Sam Amidon
1.
Bm D
My old friend I recall
G D Em A
times we had are hanging on my wall
Bm D
I wouldn't trade them for gold
G D
they laughed and they cried me
G D
and somehow sanctified me
G D A
they're woven in the stories I have told and tell again
2.
Bm D
My old friend I apologize
G D Em A
for the years that have passed since the last time you and I
Bm D
dusted off those memories
G D
running in the races
G D
people and the places
G D A
there was always somewhere else I had to be
Bm
time gets thin my old friend
G D G D
Don't know why Don't know why Don't know why Don't know why
3.
Bm D
My old friend this song's for you
G D Em A
'cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
Bm D
to tell the world that you were here
G D
the love and the laughter
G D
will live on long after
G D A
all of the sadness and the tears
Bm
we'll meet again my old friend
G D G D
Goodbye, goodbye! Goodbye, goodbye!
