INTRO: D   G A D   G D A   

N.C.      D                     G
Friend of Mine I can't undo the wrong
             Em                      A                A7
I could have given so much more than just these crazy songs
  D                              G
I walked down by the river and I thought of you today
    Em                              A7               D    D7
You always seemed to understand the words I couldn't say


    G                B7            C            Cm
But when we'd sing together, those country harmonies
  G             Em                    C   D7      G      D   G D A
I never heard a sweeter voice come so easy and so free


N.C.      D                         G
Friend of Mine at times you were so wise
         Em                                A              A7
With the sweet ways of a playful child and sorrow in your eyes
D                            G
You came riding through, but your heart made you stay
        Em                           A7                D    D7
I could use some of your honesty now that you've gone away


G               B7        C                 Cm
I can feel your footsteps walking here with me
  G             Em                    C   D7      G    
I never heard a sweeter voice come so easy and so free

Friend of Mine singing to me now
  Em                       A                 A7
I wanted to say I cared, I didn't quite know how
    D                                     G
And driving on these dusty roads where we spent so many days
     Em                                A7           D    D7
Your songs wrap close around me like a heavy summer haze


    G            B7              C              Cm
The coast of California holds me like your melodies
  G             Em                    C   D7      G   D Em   C   G 
I never heard a sweeter voice come so easy and so free
