G                  D                         G     D 
If I closed my eyes it doesn’t hurt quite so bad
         G                D                  G         D
´Cause tonight I just lost the best friend I ever had
G                   C                      G  
You were a maverick, running all away from New Orleans
          G                                   D                               G           D
We’d tell stories ´round the campfire late at night, when it was down to just you and me


Chorus
Em   C           D               G 
Good friend, why did you have to go
Em                         C              D         D/C     D/B    D/A
Just when I was getting to know you, I’ll sing this song to show 
           Em   C                  D                   G 
You were a good friend, they don’t make ‘em quite like you 
          C              C/B         D                    G
And in my memory, you’ll always be a good, good friend to me


You said I got a home, boy, haven’t seen it for so long
Said I’m going home, boy, mMy work is done, I can feel it in my bones

Chorus 

Solo

Chorus 


And in my memory, you’ll always be a good, good friend to me
