Biography:
Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues and R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt.
Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more.

Best Old Friend
Tracy Nelson / Andy McMahon / The Glow 1979
As recorded by Bonnie Raitt on the album The Glow 1979
C- F C- F
C-7
Fate is mighty cruel
F
Where true love is concerned
C-7
It seems you give out more
/
Than you ever have returned
F
Lately I have tried
C-7
To make it on my own
F
Another nite has passed
|D G
Looks like I^?m bound to be alone
|C-7
Bound to be alone
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there^?s nothin^? else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it^?s back on you
|A- F |C |
Oh, I can make it thru without your company
G |C |
I only wish I knew why you won^?t comfort me
F G
I thot that I could count on you
|A- C
To hear me cryin^? out
|F D
I guess that^?s one comfort
|2/4 G Bb |C- |F |C- |F |
I will learn to do without
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
so you are not the first and, lord
You sure won^?t be the last
The thing about the situation
C- F
That makes me feel so sad
C- F
I could^?ve been the best old friend
|D G C- F |C- / |
That you have ever had
I could^?ve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
