All Of My Friends Were There

Kinks

 EA
 My big day, it was the biggest day of my life
 F#mA
 It was the summit of my long career
 EA
But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer
 F#mA
And my manager said that I should not appear

I walked out onto the stage and started to speak
The first night I've missed for a couple of years
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer
And just when I wanted no one to be there

CHORUS #1:
 EE7AA/G#F#m
All of my friends were there      
 Bm7/A
Not just my friends, but their best friends too
 G#G#7C#7F#B
 All of my friends were there to stand and stare
 A/G#F#m
Say what they may, all of their friends need not stare
 Bm7/A
Those who laughed were not friends anyway
 G#G#7C#7F#B
 All of my friends were there to stand and stare

Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair
And gave the impression that I did not care
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair

Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin
I nervously mounted the stage once again
Got through my performance and no one complained
Thank God I can go back to normal again

CHORUS #2:
I went to that old cafe
Where I had been in much happier days
And all of my friends were there, and no one cared
Say what they may, all of my friends were there
Not just my friends, but their best friends too
All of my friends were there, now I don't care
