Richard Digance - My friend upon the road

I have a ^Cfriend to share my ^Emdreaming, a gui-^Atar to play my ^A7songs to And a ^Dmfishing friend to ^Gsit where rivers ^Cflow There were ^Cothers, gave me money when the ^A7days weren’t quite this sunny And there’s ^Dmyou . . . my ^Gfriend upon the ^Croad. ^D For a lonely mile is ^Glonger to me ^D Than the short to which you’re ^Gowed ^CMany friends have ^Emwritten songs for ^Am7friends before but ^A7this belongs to ^Dmyou . . . my ^Gfriend upon the ^Croad.

The ^Cstars on the ^Emtrapeze twinkle ^A7high on midnight seas They are ^Dmsights, not ^Gmany see for ^Clong Nature ^Coffers us her ballet, not just ^A7shadows in the alley She pro-^Dmvides the dancers, ^Gwe provide the ^Csong. ^D And she keeps us high when ^Gothers fall low ^D Mother Nature bears our ^Gload For your ^Cgood-to-know-your ^Emattitude, I ^A7offer you my gratitude And you ^Dmtoo, and my ^Gfriend upon the ^Croad.

When we’re ^Cold and remi-^Eniscing, they’ll be ^Am7one friend I was ^Akissing And a-^Dmnother, who made ^Gjourneys end on ^Ctime When we ^Cthink back on the ^Cmwinning, and the ^Am7losing and the singing It was ^Dmall of us who ^Ghelped my words to ^Crhyme ^D I may be weaver and the ^Gsinger of the song ^D Helped by two: few people ^Gsee So I ^Cthink my songs are ^Emmaybe, from us ^Athree: that is my lady And my ^Dmspecial friend up-^Gon the road and ^Cme.
