Verse 1 chords:
                              
Back when I        was not that old
                                             
For I had me a love before playing in a band
                          
At the tent        and underage
        
Now I’m old as a drink but the best things to get drunk
                                              
You’re all in the world that I ha-a-a-a-a-a-a-d
                       
Just me and my unusual friends


Verse 2 chords:
                                 
Playing songs         to the magic box
                                                                
To the holes in the old rotten roof sounds of curl-eyed morning
                                    
Back when you,       substitute for girls
   
So I get more food and the passer of the time
                                            
In the aching dehydrated dou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ough
                          
With my bruised up hollow men
                                   
Yeah I hold you in my ha-a-a-a-a-and
                                              
Yeah I’m missing my unusual friends


SOLO: [ –  –  – ] x2, then
      [ – ] x1, then
      [ –  –  – ] x1


Verse 3: use verse 1 chords
You and her, you stuck around 
We’ll a were all night used to give my room and kill me
There’s a flood on my lungs on the bre-e-e-e-eeze
I’m missing my unusual friends
You were all in the world that I had
My sweet unusual friends


Outro:
           
My sweet unusual friends
                  
Well my sweet unusual friends
