CAPO ON 1 (originally played on a 12-string guitar)

Verse 1:

C
Sometimes I remember the old days

G
When the world was filled with sorrow

F                                              C
You might have thought I was living but I was all alone

C
In my heart the rain was falling

G
The wind blew, the night was calling

F                                     C
Come back, come back, I'm all you've ever known


Chorus:

G
Open the door and come on in

F
I'm so glad to see you, my friend

              C                 G
You're like a rainbow, coming around the bend

 F
And when I see you happy

C               F
Well, it sets my heart free

C                          G                          F
I'd like to be as good a friend to you, as you are to me

Verse 2:

C
There were friends who could always see me

G
Through the haze their smiles would reach me

F                             C
Saying okay, saying goodbye, saying hello

C
Soon I knew just what I was after

G
Was life and love, tears and laughter

F
Hello, my good friend


Hello, my darling

   C
What do you know


Repeat Chorus


Verse 3:

C                           G
I used to think it was only me feeling alone

             F                          C
Not feeling free to be alive to be a friend

C                            G
Now I know we all have stormy weather

                                 F
The sun shines through when we're together

                                           C
I'll be your friend, right through to the end
