AmWell I fiGnd myself in rever Csus2ie,
'bout what we migGht have had and wCsus2hat might have been.
GWe had something going Csus2once,
That was such a Dsus2long long time ago.
It was wGay back in seCsus2venty- six, a frGiendship formed of pCsus2ure innocence,
GWe first met in Matthew sCsus2treet,
where we heard someDsus2thing that would set us free.
A sEmign stands oGver the door and says &quDot;Four lads who shook the world"
AmIn the depths of those heCady nights Emwe would dream of thCose bright lights
Oh my frieDnd, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
GSomG/F#ewhere Cadd9tonight out on the stEm7reet
GSomeG/F#where beCadd9neath this cDity' s heEm7at
InCadd4 the eyes of straDngers who paEmss me by
GLife is crCadd9uel and sDo unEmkind
O Ch, Oh the SPIRIT OF '7G6
AmAnd my friGend John, he went aCsus2way and he made some mistakes
SGpent time in WaltCsus2on jail
And now when I see him we still talk but there's no light shining in his eyes
And Susie, she was 17 and more beauty in this world I swear you'll never see
I was gonna be king and she was gonna be queen
But now all she does is hide behind the tears
If there was more sense in this world and work wasn't so hard to find
You would not be going your way, I would not be going mine
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
EmMersey lights sChine in the distance saDme as they did for us tEmhen
EmMersey lights shCine bright in the disDtance where are you now my fEmriend?
YoGu see some nightsC when I can't sleep, I still thDink of you
AmOf Gall the promises, all the dreams we shared
AI Gknow those lights still call to you
CI CcaGn hear them now, I can hear them no w
And now me, I've seen my dreams come true
But that don't make me no hero
I'm just one of the lucky few
If a man can't change the world these days
I still believe a man can change his own destiny
But the price is high that has got to be paid
For everyone who survives there are many who fail
Seen my friends caught out in that crossfire
All their dreams and hopes smashed on the funeral pyre
I will never give in until the day that I die
I get myself some independence
Carve out a future with these two bare hands
Oh my friend, Oh my friend, Oh my friend
