That was it Anine years__ or Aten_
Since you Alast saw_ this Afriend?_
Why it Aseems_ like_ there's no_ Atime__ at Eall?_ E7
EThere weren't enough__ E7chan_-ges_
To Emake him_ a stranE7ger_
'Cause we Dboth_ had_ old_ Dgood times__ to reAcall__A(sus4)_
Now he was Aworn out_ with walkin'A(sus4)_
So he Asat there_ not_ tal_-kin'A(sus4)_
But Asmiled_ when__ ourA(sus4) eyes chanced__ to meDet_
Then I_ Ementioned the past_E
Then he Espoke up_ at last_E
Shook his E7head_ and laid his E7world_ at my Afeet__
A/C#He sA/Daid:_ IA_ beDen__ a front_-ruDnner_
I've been_ Dricher__ than_ Dmost_ Emen__ you'A _ll see_ A _____ _ A _ _ A _ _
I've been_ Dmighty_ now I'm Dbroken_
Proud of Bm7word__ now soft-Bm7spoken__
All B7seein'__ now I'm B7blind_ as_ can Ebe___E7
Now there are_ Amen_ who don't Alose_
Who take Awhatever they__ Acho_-o-ose_
And beAcome what they Aset out__ to Dbe__ D
And other Emen_ who set the Epace_
But in the Eend_ lose__ the Erace_
And old_ Ebuddy_ you know Ethat _man__ is Ame_
A __ A(sus4) __ A __ A(sus4) _

A __ A __
EOh_ you know I_ Acould not_ feel Asorry_
Though it was Asuch a sad_ Asto-o-ry_
That I Afelt so_ much_ I Athought_ I_ might_ Ebrea-ak_ E
Each man Efollows__ his Efancies_
Knows Ethe odds_ and takes the Echances_
And in the Dend_ gets what_-Dever_ he Ata-a-akes_ A
Well so it Awas_ with my Aold_ friend_
Who Afollowed_ his Aown end_
And Awas worn like the Aholes_ in his Dshoes_D
And neither Ewisdom or Ecunning_
Could slow the Epace or chan_-ge Ethe running_
Of a E7race_ he always E7knew_ he would Alose_
A/C#He sA/Daid:_ IA_ beDen__ a front_-ruDnner_
I've been_ Dricher__ than_ Dmost_ Emen__ you'A _ll see_ A _____ _ A _ _ A _ _
I've been_ Dmighty_ now I'm Dbroken_
Proud of Bm7word__ now soft-Bm7spoken__

Now there are_ Amen_ who don't Alose_
Who take Awhatever they__ Acho_-o-ose_

And old_ Ebuddy_ you know Ethat _man__ is Ame_
