🎶 Old Friends

Intro: [C]
===

I [C]saw you at the railway station
[Am]there had been a cancelation
[F]you were smoking cigarettes [G]alone
I [C]walked up and said hello, I [Am]lost my wife two days ago
You [F]shook my hand and said [G]Francis was your [C]name

And you had a [F][G]hat
And I had a [C][Am]hat
[F]Mmm, we both had [G]hats
And my wife was [F][G]dead
And your wife was [Am][D]dead
[F]...Shit [G]happens, Francis [C]said
[C]Francis said it's five o'clock
[Am]How about we find a rock and [F]throw at some cars from the [G]bridge

I [C]laughed and said that sounds like fun
We [Am]walked into the setting sun
And [F]Francis said "I'm [G]aiming at the [C]kids"

And he threw a [F][G]rock
So I threw a [C][Am]rock
We [F]both put some gravel in a [G]sock
And he threw the [F][G]sock, I said we should [Am][D]stop
He [F]smiled at me, then [G]threw a rock in a [C]sock

We [C]snuck down to the local farm
And [Am]there we opened up the barn
To [F]set the horses free and watch them [G]run
The [C]moon was extra bright that night
The [Am]horses in the pale moonlight
[F]"Watch this" Francis [G]said, and pulled his [C]gun

And he shot a [F][G]horse
So I shot a [C][Am]horse
[F]Francis choked a chicken with his [G]hands
But watching them [F][G]die, he started to [Am][D]cry
"I'm [F]bored" Francis [G]said, let's steal a [C]car

Oh, [G]Margaret, Oh Margaret
Don't you [F]worry bout' me [C]now
I'm [Am]doing just [F]fine on my [C]own
There are [G]other things to life than your [F]soft skin against [C]mine
And [Am]Francis is [F]helping me move [C]on
I'm [G]moving [C]on

[C]Life's a bitch, a wise man said
No [Am]matter what, you end up dead
And [F]all that you can wish for is a [G]friend
So [C]pour another glass of wine
With [Am]Francis shoulder touching mine
I 'll [F]stay right here [G]until the bitter [C]end

And you have a [F][G]hat
And I have a [C][Am]hat
[F]Mmm, we both have [G]hats
And your wife is [F][G]dead
And my wife is [Am][D]dead
[F]Here's to [G]life, Francis [Am]said
[F]Here's to [G]life, Francis [Am]said
[F]Here's to [G]life, Francis [C]said
