My Old Friend Tab

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-y 


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 old friend
My old friend
My old friend
