MATTHEWS' SOUTHERN COMFORT
"Thoughts For A Friend"
[intro]
C G
[Verse 1]
G C
Each day he lived he just grew younger
D G
And where he looked he'd never been
Em Am
The nights were more an endless wonder
C D
Each day the most he'd ever seen
[Verse 2]
G C
His mild approach was more a way of life
D G
His way of living just a ball
Em Am
And scarcely did he wonder was he safe
C Bm Am
It never bothered him at all
[interlude]
Em Bm Am Em Bm Am G
[verse 3]
G C
At times appreciation deafened him
D G
Those nights he'd smile and not believe
Em Am
And when the lights were going up on him
C D
Each step he couldn't quite conceive
[verse 4]
G C
And each day I wander down along the street
D G
Alone with thoughts about a friend
Em Am
So helpless never looking up to see
C Bm Am G
Each life we never can defend
