It’s been so long

since I’ve seen you, my old friend

I remember your eyes how they would shine
Those crazy times when you and I fooled around
I remember the time you fell in love
Didn’t know how to say goodbye to your baby
You made me [Eb/G]take the goodbye note around
And that little girl, she cried and cried
She asked me if I knew exactly why you’d gone

I told a lie, I said you felt
She’d be much happier with someone else
But then you’d d[Eb/G]o the same for me

Ab, Eb/G, Bb

Remember when we stayed out late
We’d cause a fight but we would never stay to the end
I loved you then, I love you still, you know I think I always will
You’re a good friend,[Eb/G] a good friend to me
Who was it, who was it, who was it, who was it
Came for me when I was stranded in the bad man’s land
Who was it, who was it, who was it
Who put up bail for me when I was so desperate to get out
Who believed with me that I was not guilty
Who gave me beer when I was thirsty
And who gave me twenty-five dollars to hold
I loved you then, I love you still
You know I think I always will
You’re a good friend, [Eb/G]a good friend to me for so long
