Friend Roger McGuinn
Roger McGuinn Friend written by Roger McGuinn
[E] [B7]
[E]Had a friend the other day he [F#m]got in over his head
[A]Went out for big money and he [E]wound up lying dead
[E]They stabbed him in the back as he [F#m]was to get his share
And he [A]went out knowing life can be unfa[B]ir
Oh [E]friend why [A]did you try so [B]hard to pre[E]tend
That you could b[A]eat your own gut [B]feelings in the [E]end
Oh [F#m]we're gonna miss you [B]round here good old [E]friend[B7]
[E]He'd always been so careful bout the [F#m]things he'd done before
N[A]ever stepped on anyone he never [E]came in their back door
But that night he b[F#m]roke one of his own rules
And he w[A]ent out knowing life can be so [B]cruel
Old [E]friend why did you[A] try so[B] hard to pret[E]end
That you could [A]beat your own gut [B]feelings in the [E]end
Oh w[F#m]e're gonna miss you [B]round here good old [E]friend
