[Intro] G Em A D D [Verse 1]
  D                 D            G               Em
I miss my friends tonight, their faces shine for me,

    A               A                   D            A
the clamor of their singing's like some mad calliope.

      D                   D             G                   Em
Still ringing through the Lion's Head until the morning light,

  A           A         A                 D
comedians and angels, I miss my friends tonight.
[Interlude] G Em A D D [Verse 2]
     D            D            G              Em
With Jameson's or Bushmills or Trotsky on the rocks;

    A             A              D             A
the Fenian at the barricade, the batter in the box.

  D              D         G              Em
A song for every season, a smile in every fight,

  A           A         A                 D
comedians and angels, I miss my friends tonight.
[Interlude] G Em A D D [Verse 3]
     D               D         G                  Em
When Dave was in his glory and singing Brecht and Weill,

    A                A               D             A
The Clancys hauled a chantey out and gave us Paddy Doyle.

    D                D                 G                 Em
The Mets were either best or worst and Marx was wrong or right,

  A           A         A                 D        D
comedians and angels, I miss my friends tonight.
[Verse 4]
  D                 D        G                   Em
I wonder where they are now,   they could be anywhere;

   A           A         D                A
in Hell or California or back in Sheridan Square.

     D                  D           G              Em
They left us where they left us, so we put out the light,

  A           A         A                 D        D
comedians and angels, I miss my friends tonight.
[Interlude] D D G Em A A A D D [Verse 5]
D                  D                      G               Em
Each one drained a parting glass then and   sailed off to sea

    A              A                   D           A
and what a crew of rogues they made in gleeful anarchy.

     D               D     G                 Em
They sang to the horizon a song no pen could write,

  A           A         A                 D
comedians and angels, I miss my friends tonight.
[Ending]
     D               D     G                 Em
They sang to the horizon a song no pen could write,

  A           A         A                 D
comedians and angels, I miss my friends tonight.
