[Intro] G D G D [Verse 1]
     G              D
If I closed my eyes

                      G      D
It doesn’t hurt quite so bad

        G                 D
Cause tonight I just lost

                  G        D
The best friend I ever had

G                     D
  You were a maverick

                         G           D
Running all the way from New Orleans

          G                                   D
We’d tell stories ´round the campfire late at night

                         G          D
When it was down to just you and me
[Chorus]
Em   Am7        D               G
Good friend why did you have to go

Em                         Am7
Just when I was getting to know you

     D                 Bm
I’ll sing this song to show

           Em7  Am7               D                   G
You were a good friend they don’t make ‘em quite like you

          Am7           Bm          C         D         G    G
And in my memory you’ll always be a good good friend to me
[Verse 2]
G                  Bm
  You said I got a home boy

D                        G    D
  Haven’t seen it for so long

G                Bm
  Said I’m going home boy

   D                                G     D
My work is done I can feel it in my bones
[Chorus]

And in my memory you’ll always be a good good friend to me
