Friend To The Friendless
The World/Inferno Friendship Society
Gm
Tabbed by: David Long Starts in G minor, 3/4 time I can't speak for the lyrics, but I'm confident the chords are right. Unfortunately the formatting on this page doesn't allow me to situate the chord names directly above the word where it changes, so you'll have to feel the changes yourself. Pay attention to key changes and the way certain chords switch between major and minor in some instances. I took some creative license with the intro, which I play as follows:
[This melody leads directly into the verse, which can be achieved almost entirely with
bar chords:]
Gm Dm Eb7 D7
I'm not above drinking alone but no good ever comes of it,
Ebm
unless you count me talking to you now
Gm Dm Eb7 D7
So, have you been hurt? Did you hurt someone?
Ebm
Did you get all crashed down upon?
C#m A E Abm
Me, I'm a friend to the friendless not that I chose it
C#m A Ab
and if I had well then who knows?
[For the next line two lines you can either repeat Gm > Dm > Eb7 > D7 > Ebm,
holding out the last chord until "money," or you can sing along to the introductory
melody as shown below]Gm Dm Eb7 D7 money, a prayer for crap jobs right till I die Gm Dm Eb7 F G never a prayer for people, the brokenhearted the lonely" Gm Dm Eb7 D7 Did you let the blues make you bad Ebm Did you get all twisted? Gm Dm Eb7 D7 Did you get so drunk you whispered "I think I'm gonna die?" Ebm Did you pass nights wondering why you never saw it coming? C#m A E Abm C#m A Ab Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all C#m A E Abm C#m A Ab I said nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all A F C E I'm a friend to the friendless and I don't care F If I had a choice in this it wouldn't be fair A F C E but I don't so let's not get all carried away F with shit you wouldn't change anyway, F E let's make this a prayer for C#m A E Abm money, a prayer for Sundays through Mondays C#m A Ab and crap jobs right til I die. Am C#m E Abm Because where we are now we won't always be A Eb and shit man that could be me Gm Dm Eb7 D7 getting hurt, hurting someone getting all crashed down upon Ebm burning holes in butterfly's Gm Dm Eb7 D7 Ebm wings, wishing, wishing, wishing, wish for other things C#m A E Abm C#m A Ab Nobody ever sees it coming, no exceptions at all Am C#m E Abm A Eb Nobody ever sees it coming, are you ready for this? Gm Dm Eb7 D7 Never wear white socks with black shoes Ebm Don't get all twisted Gm Dm Eb7 D7 Don't let the blues make you bad Ebm I know you miss him C#m A E Abm Don't let your standards fall down with your hair C#m A Ab How it felt when you kissed her C#m A E Abm Straighten your tie, tuck in your shirt A F I'm a friend to the friendless C E F And I don't know why but come on kids, just walk right on by A F C E I know you are lonely, you'll not always be F E You are so many things you will not always be.
