Capo 4

  G          D           G             C               D             G
I met an old friend this morning and I stopped him and called him by name
  D                                                                        G
I said, "The years haven't changed you" as he said, "Good Lord, how you've changed"
   G               D             G            C            D              G  
We stood there and talked on the corner and remembered the good times we'd had
        D                                                     G
Then he asked if we're happy together and I only smiled and I said


Chorus:
D        G        D       G              C        D      G
Yes, she keeps me off the street and she keeps me out of trouble
    C            D                 G          G 
But sometimes at night, Lord, when I hear the wind
      G          D      G  
Oh, I wish I was crazy again
C      G          D      G
Yes, I wish I was crazy again


Then we stopped at a tavern, we had us a round or two
We called ourselves old desperados as old friends are likely to do
We sat for a while and remembered then he said, "Let's have just one more"
And I said, "I wish I could join you but I best be going on home"
