“As a young person, you’ve got to pull the weeds in your soul when you’re young. Otherwise they will choke you.” - Joni Mithcell [Verse 1]
    B
And so once again

                        D
My dear Johnny, my dear friend

                          B           F#
And so once again you are fighting us all

F#
And when I ask you why

G                A                     B
  You raise your sticks and cry, and I fall
[Chorus 1]
B                          E
Oh, my friend, How did you come?

                            B
To trade the fiddle for the drum
[Verse 2]
    B
You say I have turned

                        D
Like the enemies you've earned

D
But I can remember

        B               F#
All the good things you are

F#
And so I ask you please

G                A                     B
  Can I help you find the peace and the star?
[Chorus 2]
B
Oh, my friend

             E
What time is this?

                               B
To trade the handshake for the fist
[Verse 3]
    C#
And so once again

               E
Oh, America my friend

E
And so once again

        C#          G#
You are fighting us all

G#
And when we ask you why

A                B                    C#
  You raise your sticks and cry and we fall
[Chorus 3]
C#
Oh, my friend

            F#
How did you come

                            C#
To trade the fiddle for the drum
[Verse 4]
    C#
You say we have turned

                        E
Like the enemies you've earned

E
But we can remember

        C#             G#
All the good things you are

G#
And so we ask you please

A                 B                      C#
  Can we help you find the peace and the star?
[Chorus 4]
C#
Oh my friend

            F#
We have all come

                            C#
To fear the beating of your drum
