Johnny Cash – Best Friend (Guitar)

E                                      A
Hmm an old man on his death bed once said to me

            E                 A
You are the master of your destiny

    D                          A
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone

       E                      A
But a man's not all good nor all bad

          E                          A 
When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall

            E                           Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had

            E                           Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had

                         D                    E                    Am
So you laugh when it's time to laugh and you cry when it's time to cry

                  D                        E                        Am
Live while it's time to live cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm

E                               A
Then he closed his eyes and he left me alone

          E                                A
This old man's wisdom brought his meaning home

    D                          A
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone

       E                      A
But a man's not all good nor all bad

          E                          A 
When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall

            E                           Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had

            E                           Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had

                         D                    E                    Am
So you laugh when it's time to laugh and you cry when it's time to cry

                  D                        E                        Am
Live while it's time to live cause you'll die when it's time to die hmm

 E                               A
Well now that I'm older I found this is true

                 E                          A
The thing that remains is the good that you do

    D                          A
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone

       E                      A
But a man's not all good nor all bad

          E                          A 
When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall

            E                           Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had

            E                           Am
You're the best friend that you've ever had
