Could some body send me or tell me where to find the lyrics of "What a friend you are" sang by Tom Paxton on the cd "American Troubadour".
Thanks very much for an answer.

No luck with my searching.

I do note that it is in a book of his songs called The Honor of Your Company. See if your local library can get it for you.

Sorry!

From "Tom Paxton - Easy Guitar"

{a} is the first melody {b} the middle eight {c} the coda.

order is aabbabbac

"{a}[C]What a friend you are
If I had a [C7] golden star I'd [F] pin it on you
For [Fm] seeing it through with me[C]

{a}What a friend indeed
Girl they almost had me plead til you came along
And you made me strong and free

And [C7] free

{b}||:[F]When I needed you,
[Fm]You were there before I knew
I[C] needed you [C7] you came through

{b}When the luck was bad
When bad luck was all I had
And no-one cared you were there

{a}What a special friend
Just the kind who'll never bend or break away
You said you'd stay
And here you are
Here you are:||

{c}What a [Fm]special friend you [C]are!"

Hope that makes sense!

Alan

Thank you so much for your search, and for the good result. It was very frustrating to sing only hummmmmmmmm or a kind of noise in place of the words that i missed.
Thank you again.
Did you find them in a precise place or did you write them yourself?

Yves

I typed them in from the music book, but I'm a reasonably fast typist!

There is quite a good Paxton website The Music of Tom Paxton , but it didn't have the lyrics to this song.

Glad to have been of help.

Au revoir

Alan
