My Buddy     Walter Donaldson/Gus Kahn

(C) Nights are (Am)long
Since (Dm7)you went a(G)way,
(C) I think of (Am)you
(Dm7)All through the lonely (G)days,
My (C)buddy,(C5)(C) my (A)buddy,(A7)(A)
No(F)body(Fadd9)(F)´s quite so (G)true.

(C) I miss your (Am)voice,
Miss the (Dm7)touch of your (G)hand,
(C) I miss the (Am)way your eyes
Saw (Dm7)things upon the (G)land,
Oh, (C)buddy,(C5)(C) my (A)buddy,(A7)(A)
Your (F)buddy(Fadd9)(F)´s missing (G)you.

(C)They tell me that (Am)life´s a book to study
(Dm7) With lessons to (G)find,
(C) Well, ours was (Am)written
That we´d (Dm7)part, you and (G)I.
(C) But buddies through the (C7)good days
And (F)pals if things would (Fm)fall,
(C) It´s just the (Am)gray days
I (Dm7)miss you most of (G)all.
(C)Buddy,(C5)(C) oh, (A)buddy,(A7)(A)
Your (F)buddy(Fadd9)´s sure (F)missing (G)you.

(C) Yes sir, they (Am)say
That it (Dm7)must be in his (G)plan,
(C) So I´ll (Am)be like a good boy
(Dm7) And say I under(G)stand.
But (C)buddy,(C5)(C) your (A)buddy(A7)(A)
Will (F)always(Fadd9)(F) have the (G)blues.
 - Instrumental first four lines of bridge - 

Oh, (C)buddy,(C5)(C) your (A)buddy,(A7)(A)
Your (F)buddy(Fadd9)(F)´s(hold) (F)mis(G)sing (C)you.
