Here's how I do it:

Friend For Life - Bryan Bowers and Bob Danoffas
C / / / |G7 / / / |C / / / |/ /
When your [G7] Mom and Dad cross your [C] mind,
Thinking [G7] back to the ties that [C] bind.
Won't fill your heart like [C7] singing some old [F] song,
They used to [C] sing [G7] back when you were [C] young.
   
**   When you learn a song, you've got a friend for [F] life,
       That you can [G7] call on in the [F] still [G7]of the [C] night.
       When you're down and out, on a two-lane [F] road,
       Your friend the [C] song will be [G7] there to ease your [Am] load,
       [F] Will be [C] there to [G7] ease your [C] load.

When time hangs [G7] heavy on your [C] hands'
That [G7] novel that you burn your eyes out [C] on,
Won't fill your heart like [C7] learning some old [F] song,
That will be [C] there to [G7] help you later [C] on.

**   When you learn a song, you've got a friend for [F] life,
       That you can [G7] call on in the [F] still [G7]of the [C] night.
       When you're down and out, on a two-lane [F] road,
       Your friend the [C] song will be [G7] there to ease your [Am] load,
       [F] Will be [C] there to [G7] ease your [C] load.

When the night is [G7] young but you're feeling [C] old,
[G7] TV's empty hours won't fill your [C] heart,
Like singing some old [C7] song that was your [F] friend,
When you were [C] young, and [G7] you are young a[C]gain.

**   When you learn a song, you've got a friend for [F] life,
       That you can [G7] call on in the [F] still [G7]of the [C] night.
       When you're down and out, on a two-lane [F] road,
       Your friend the [C] song will be [G7] there to ease your [Am] load,
       [F] Will be [C] there to [G7] ease your [C] load.   
       When you learn a song, [G7] you've got a friend for [C] life.
