| I | blew in on Tuesday, and shook off my blues day |
| G | |
| And | glady indulged in some tea |
| E | |
| In the | time you'd been biding were the songs you'd been writing |
| A | |
| So you | glady sang them to me |
| D | |
| We | talked about old times, the good times, the bad times |
| G | |
| And | how deep down we're still the same |
| E | |
| And we | talked about women and the hard times we're livin' |
| A | |
| And how | some things just never change |
| CHORUS: |
| G | D | |
| Oh old | friend, I might have gone | crazy |
| A | |
| If I'd lived alone a moment too | long |
| G | D | |
| I'll keep you | strong, don't let me get | lazy |
| A | |
| When the rest of the world leaves me | blue |
| D | |
| Old friend, thank God I still have | you |
| BREAK: D A D |
| 'Til 3 in the morning we sat there recalling |
| The times of when we were young |
| While nights on the town when the world had us down |
| And the pimps and the songs that they sung |
| And you'll smoke and you'll ask me how did my life just pass me |
| Is it something that I'm doin' wrong |
| And I'll say the answers to all of your questions |
| Is why we've been friends so long |
| CHORUS |
| A | |
| When the rest of the world leaves me blue |
| G | |
| Old friend, thank God I still | have you |
| D | |
| Oh I'm sure glad I | do |
