John Hiatt - My Old Friend

G D Am C
i thought we were gonna make that bridge , what did i know
G D Am C
me and my expectations was always high
G D Am C
“like a rolling stone” is playing on the radio
G D
it made you cry
Am C
but we got by – y

chorus :
G D
my old friend
Am C
you make me feel young again
G D
my old friend
Am C
you’re just as pretty as you were back then

a corvair with no floorboards , a gibson hummingbird
driving south to the mouth of the riversong

patchouli oil and motor oil
and you knew all the words
now you’re looking fine
in a hook – up line

chorus

bridge :
G D
you’ve got kids , i’ve got kids
Am C
and they all want to know
G D Am C
just what is what like when we were young
i tell them i’m no different now
just late for the show
so grab your “aqualung”
the loading has begun

chorus

my old friend
my old friend
