Capo 3
[A]Richey Lee was his [C#m]fatherâ??s boy
[D]Big, loud, hard drinkin bundle of joy
[A]A walkin laugh, wrapped up in [C#m]corduroy
[D]Richey couldnâ??t do n[A]o wrong
Grew up with a fast runninâ?? crowd
Good bunch of boys, just a little too loud
Canâ??t fault a man for being proud
Richey kept rollinâ?? on
Spent his days in a rock and roll band
Tellin jokes a guitar in his hand
Tryin hard to meet every demand
Of all those late night shows
Whiskey drunk on a Saturday night
She caught his eye cominâ?? out of the light
Half way there he had to get in a fight
Back home, thatâ??s just the way it goes
Chorus:
[D]Strange [E]days they leave you in [A]wonder
[D]And good times, [E]they donâ??t alway[A]s stay
[D]And true [E]love it will [A]shake you like [F#m]thunder
[D]But old [E]friends just fade [F#m]away[D], [A]old [E]friends just fade [A]away
Summertime on the river again
Fishin poles and a two dollar grin
Ainâ??t ever gonna laugh like that again
Fallinâ?? right to the ground
Count the miles down to New Orleans
Borrowed cash and dirty blue jeans
Couple of boys lookinâ?? for Cajun queens
Thinkinâ?? they own the town
But we all left to find work out of town
Even wild ones they slow down
Richey felt like he was comin unwound
Got tired of playinâ?? the game
Liquor bottles pilinâ?? up before noon
Richey said he just needed some room
We all saw the end cominâ?? way too soon
And man thatâ??s an awful shame
