Bm                 D
My old friend I recall
G         D      Em             A
times we had are hanging on my wall
            Bm             D
I wouldn't trade them for gold
      G                 D
they laughed and they cried me
     G             D
and somehow sanctified me
         G             D             A
they're woven in the stories I have told     and tell again

2.
        Bm            D
My old friend I apologize
             
          G              D               Em                A
for the years that have passed since the last time you and I
       Bm             D
dusted off those memories
 G              D         
running in the races 
  G              D
people and the places
          G                D              A
there was always somewhere else I had to be
                        Bm
time gets thin my old friend
             G              D                G               D
Don't know why  Don't know why  Don't know why  Don't know why

3.
        Bm                     D
My old friend this song's for you
          G          D              Em                 A
'cause a few simple verses was the least that I could do
            Bm                   D
to tell the world that you were here
     G            D         
the love and the laughter
      G           D         
will live on long after
G           D               A
all of the sadness and the tears
                         Bm
we'll meet again my old friend
     G        D                      G        D
Goodbye, goodbye!               Goodbye, goodbye!
