Don’t Worry My Friend Copyright Peter Ward 1980
[Intro]
G C D G G C D G
[Verse 1]
G C
You were born in a country that’s part of the West
D G
Where you’re led to believe that this life is the best
G C
But all through you’re life you’re just put to the test
D G
The main aim being to keep up with the rest
[Chorus]
G C
And don’t worry my friend if you find you can’t cope
D G
No need to feel low down to moan and to mope
G C
Don’t lend them your mind and your body to bend
D G
Because your life’s of your own choosing my friend
[Instrumental]
G C D G G C D G
[Verse 2]
G C
Everybody’s busy just making ends meet
D G
They seem to enjoy being rushed off their feet
G C
Ask them and they’ll tell you this life’s hard to be
D G
And they’ll be rewarded when they join the elite
[Chorus]
G C
And don’t worry my friend if you find you can’t cope
D G
No need to feel low down to moan and to mope
G C
Don’t lend them your mind and your body to bend
D G
Because your life’s of your own choosing my friend
[Instrumental]
G C D G G C D G
[Verse 3]
G C
Well It makes no sense we know that it’s true
D G
There’s some who’ll agree but there’s only a few
G C
They’re not easy to find but the eyes give a clue
D G
I’ve met some and I know they’re true
[Chorus]
G C
And don’t worry my friend if you find you can’t cope
D G
No need to feel low down to moan and to mope
G C
Don’t lend them your mind and your body to bend
D G
Because your life’s of your own choosing my friend
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
G C
So all is not lost some good can be found
D G
Have faith in yourself and stand your ground
G C
Put your energies to work where the world is hurt least
D G
And don’t give up until your life has ceased
[Chorus]
G C
And don’t worry my friend if you find you can’t cope
D G
No need to feel low down to moan and to mope
G C
Don’t lend them your mind and your body to bend
D G
Because your life’s of your own choosing my friend
[Outro]
G C D G
G C
Don’t lend them your mind and your body to bend
D G
Because your life’s of your own choosing my friend
D G
Your life’s of your own choosing my friend
