The Friend Songby Patti Dean


slowly, 2/4




When the [G]evening draws [C7]near


And the[G]stars wait to[C7]cheer


To[G]bring fourth all their[C7]glory


To[Am]shine bright once a- [Dm]gain




[G]Night animals an-[C7]ticipate


[G]Waiting for their[C7]day to start


There’s a[G]pause betwe%en[C7]day and night


When I[Am]think of[Dm]you my friend


When the[G]clouds drift slowly[C7]by


On a[G]lazy summer[C7]day


I[G]raise my eyes to[C7]ponder


Do I[Am]recognize that[Dm]shape



I[G]hear the roar of the[C7]waves


Their[G]mighty crash on the[C7]beach


There’s a[G]pause when the[C7]tide comes in


When I[Am]think of you my[Dm]friend


When I[Am]think of[Dm]you my[G]friend


[Am]Why do things [Em]end


The[Am]earth continues to[Em]spin


With[Am]all that forward[Em]motion


[Am]Why oh[Dm]why do things[G]end


[G]Going out on a [C7]warm night


To[G]share my love and[C7]laughter


There’s a[G]pause in my[C7]heart


When I[Am]think of you my[Dm]friend


I re-[Am]member[Dm]you my[G]friend

Re: The Friend Song by Patti Dean

Patti is my sister, and yes I am doing this for her with her permission. Incidentally, why isn't chordpro working for me?

Re: The Friend Song by Patti Dean

Thanks for the prompt response... no worries then.

On to your question, there is a thread up in "About Chordie" that addresses the Chopro problem, essentially it is "broken" and on the list of things to be "fixed as time allows".  Between "squishing Bugs" and "spanking Spammers" folks have been busy, but the Powers that Be are aware of the issue and it will be addressed in due course.  You might want to wander up to that section and voice your problem specifics to assist... Please.

Thanks Again

Re: The Friend Song by Patti Dean

I've always been a fan of the bittersweet. The words and the music fit well together and it plays pretty good too if I guessed right. Pass on to your sister Patti well done.

I haven't come across very many songs in 3/4 time, especially songs for guitar.  Now, I'm quite intrigued.  One of you will have to put a recording of this up for us!  smile The words are lovely.  Welcome to Chordie Patti!

That is one excellent very moving song touching all the right places. Patti and Zen you turned a wet cold Sunday morning  outside into a warm  experience inside.

When the [G]evening draws [C9]near 
And the [G]stars wait to [C9]cheer 
To [G]bring fourth all their [C9]glory 
To [Am]shine bright once a- [D]gain

[G] Night animals an- [C9]ticipate

There’s a [G]pause between [C9]day and night 
When I [Am]think of you my [D]friend

When the [G]clouds drift slowly [C9]by 
On a [G]lazy summer [C9]day 
I [G]raise my eyes to [C9]ponder 
Do I [Am]recognize that [D]shape

I [G]hear the roar of the [C9]waves
Their [G]mighty crash on the [C9]beach 
There’s a [G]pause when the [C9]tide comes in

Re: The Friend Song by Patti Dean

oh, and, I realized it is not in 3/4.  It CAN be sung in 3/4, and at some point I started playing it in 3/4, but this was a mistake according to my sister.  Maybe I'll do a version in 3/4 sometime, but the version I put on youtube is true to the writer's original, in 2/4 or 4/4.
