These Friends of Mine lan Tyson
These friends of (F)mine we shared some good times to-(Bb)gether Days of (Gm)sunshine, days of (C)rain Many (F)jobs and many towns we worked and (Bb)never Cared if (Gm)we saw the same towns a-(C)gain Then one (F)day we weren't as young as be-(Bb)fore Our mis-(F)takes weren't quite so (Am)easy to un-(Gm)do (C7) But by (F)all those roads my friends we traveled (Bb)down I'm a better (F)man for just a-(Bb)know-(C)in' (F)you
These friends of mine they never cared about tomorrow It was too early in the game They'd stay awhile until the day they'd get to wondering If the far side of the hill looked the same And they settled down somewhere along the way And some went wrong as some men do But by all those roads my friends we traveled down I'm a better man for just a-knowin' you
