Verse 2
I still hang out with my Bbbest friend Dave

I heard David yell Gacross the room
"Hey buddy, how 'boC7ut a helping hand."
I said, &Cquot;Dave,"

I ain't as good as I Bbonce was

But I'm as Cgood once as I Bbever was

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
