Toby Keith - Nights I Can’t Remember, Friends I’ll Never Forget

A G A G

D                            A
Me and JB and Sonny, we grew up on the buddy plan
Weren’t we some bad mothers, closer than brothers
                                 D
Had a rockin’ little three-piece band
        G                          D                          
Yeah we wrote a lot of songs about women
        G                                A
Then we tried to sing ‘em pretty for the girls
Pushin’ everythin’ we did to the limit
       G                A           D
Livin’ right out on the edge of the world.

    D
I recall on summer night at a party 
        A
We were sophomores hangin’ out by the lake
I got off on some wine with a waitress
            G                             D
Sonny had a girlfriend that just couldn’t wait
 G                  D
JB hooked up around midnight
        G                        A
With an ugly girl from up in the city
He downed every can of beer in the cooler
               G          A          D
Just tryin’ to drink that poor thing pretty.

    Bm                 A
Hey me and the boys we made a lot of noise
        G                      D
And we, sang all our songs for free
   E
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
D               A
Never did get a degree
D         Db              B           A
We did it our way lookin’ back on the good days
        G                 E
There’s still not a lot I regret
G              D        A                   D
Nights I Can’t Remember, Friends I’ll Never Forget.

D                                 A
I grew up and got married, took a job with the FPL
Sonny’s got a good life, a baby and a good wife
                            D
And everyday he carries the mail
 G                    D
JB is a cross-country trucker
       G                            A
And he called last night from South Carolina
He said I fallen in love with a waitress
       G        A            D                         
That I met at a Waffle House diner.

            C                     D
He said the years seem to roll on faster
          C                     D
Than they did back when we were kids
        C                        D
Then we need us a break from the grindstone
B                      A
That’s exactly what we did.

   D
We put in a phone call to Sonny
        A
Then we stayed out all night long
We drank a few cold ones, then told a few old ones
    D            A            D
And sang another verse to the song.

     Bm               A
Yeah we were boys who made a lot of noise
        G                      D
And we, sang all our songs for free
   E
We partied through college, acquired some knowledge
D               A
Never did get a degree
D         Db              B           A
We did it our way lookin’ back on the good days
        G                 E
There’s still not a lot I regret
             G              D        A                        D
There’s some Nights I Can’t Remember, with Friends I’ll Never Forget.

          G              D        A                   D      A G D
All those Nights I Can’t Remember, Friends I’ll Never Forget.
