My Old Friend Tab

by John Hiatt


                                                             
I thought we were gonna make that bridge, what did I know
                                                
Me and my expectations was always high
                                                
"Like a Rolling Stone" is playing on the radio
           
It made you cry
          
But we got by 

CHORUS:
        
My old friend
                 
You make me feel young again
        
My old friend
                              
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:
               
You've got kids, I've got kids
                     
And they all want to know
                                                   
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-y old friend

               
My-y old friend

               
My-y old friend
