G       D/F#        G              D/F#     G
My best friend even when it didn’t show
G             D/F#      G               D/F# Bm     A   G
You knew that you could ask and I would go anywhere for you
G         D/F#             G        D/F
Our time together here has come and gone
G        D/F#         G                D/F# Bm    A   G
I placed some of your favorite flowers on a stone for you
G                       D/F#              G
I recall your smile and kindness you have shown
G                    D/F#              G
And how you made any place fill like a home
G                       D/F#     Bm  A   G
And I was proud to walk with you every mile

[Chorus]
            A                    D
So long my friend goodbye for a while

[Verse 2]

G    D/F#        G        D/F#    G
Time supposed to ease the pain we fill
G        D/F#     G     D/F#              Bm   A  G
But the memories after years are still so real of you
G               D/F#         D/F#      G
You’ll be right here with me until the day
G       D/F#      G            D/F#   Bm   A   G
We meet again and I won’t ever fail to say to you
G                               D/F#              G
That I sure love your smile and kindness you have shown
G                  D/F#              G
And how you make a place fill like a home
G                        D/F#      Bm  A  G
And I’ll be proud to walk with you every mile

[Chorus]
           A                   D
So long my Friend Goodbye for a While
