Allan Taylor - For an old friend

I was away in some ^Cdistant ^Dcountry ^Em When a friend ^Cphoned through the ^Dnews ^Am The line was ^Gbad and I^D couldn't hear ^Em And the story ^Cwas ^Dconfused ^Em They ^Csay you'd been out ^Ddrinking ^Em And having your ^Cusual wild^D time ^Am You were driving ^Ghome just a ^Dlittle too fast ^Em You never ^Cmade it ^Dhome ^{Em C D}

^EmThen I remembered^C the times we ^Dtravelled around How ^Emwe'd drive^C on through the ^Dnight We ^Amwere passing ^Gsmokes and telling ^Djokes As the r^Emoad stretched^C out in the ^Dlight ^Em We always ^Cshared our ^Dmoney ^EmWe were always ^Cbroke it ^Dseemed ^Am But fame was a^Ground the ^Dcorner And ^Emfortune,^C so we ^Ddreamed ^{Em C D}

^EmWhen I'm drinking in ^Csome good-time ^Dbar ^Em I look a^Cround for ^Dyou ^AmIt's a habit I've ^Ggot, 'cause I^D can't forget And I'm ^Emwishing^C it wasn't ^Dtrue ^Em Maybe ^Cin a ^Dcorner ^Em Behind a ^Cdrink or two ^D You'd be^Am singing ^Gsongs,^D having a good time ^Em Like we ^Cused to do^{D Am}Let's both get ^Gdrunk and ^Dhave a good time ^Em Like we ^Cused to ^Ddo Yeah,^Em like we ^Cused to do ^D
