Old Friends

C

  C
I saw you at the railway station
Am
there had been a cancelation
F                                 G
you were smoking cigarettes alone
  C
I walked up and said hello,
  Am
I lost my wife two days ago
    F
You shook my hand and said
G                C
Francis was your name

              F   G
And you had a hat
            C   Am
And I had a hat
F                G
Mmm, we both had hats
                F    G
And my wife was dead
                  Am   D
And your wife was dead
F      G                C
  Shit happens, Francis said

C
Francis said it's five o'clock
Am
How about we find a rock
    F                           G
and throw at some cars from the bridge
  C
I laughed and said that sounds like fun
   Am
We walked into the setting sun
    F                 G             C
And Francis said "I'm aiming at the kids"

               F    G
And he threw a rock
             C    Am
So I threw a rock
   F                         G
We both put some gravel in a sock
                 F    G
And he threw the sock,
                 Am   D
I said we should stop
   F
He smiled at me,
     G                 C
then threw a rock in a sock

   C
We snuck down to the local farm
    Am
And there we opened up the barn
   F                                  G
To set the horses free and watch them run
    C
The moon was extra bright that night
    Am
The horses in the pale moonlight
 F                   G
"Watch this" Francis said,
               C
and pulled his gun

              F     G
And he shot a horse
            C     Am
So I shot a horse
F                                 G
Francis choked a chicken with his hands
                  F   G
But watching them die,
              Am  D
he started to cry
     F              G
"I'm bored" Francis said,
              C
let's steal a car

    G
Oh, Margaret, Oh Margaret
          F              C
Don't you worry bout' me now
    Am         F          C
I'm doing just fine on my own
          G
There are other things to life
           F                 C
than your soft skin against mine
    F                          Am
And Francis is helping me move on
    G      C
I'm moving on

C
Life's a bitch, a wise man said
   Am
No matter what, you end up dead
    F                              G
And all that you can wish for is a friend
   C
So pour another glass of wine
     Am
With Francis shoulder touching mine
      F
I 'll stay right here
  G              C
until the bitter end

               F   G
And you have a hat
             C   Am
And I have a hat
F                 G
Mmm, we both have hats
                 F    G
And your wife is dead
               Am   D
And my wife is dead
F         G             Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F         G             Am
Here's to life, Francis said
F         G             C
Here's to life, Francis said
