Small Poem Of Old Friend

C
man have I been far away?
            Am
in short of words
          G
afraid of nothing
             F
with nothing all around
              E
how could you know?
            F
how could I let you know
                                  G
when there was all but nothing in me


F
yes I blew it all away
            Am
into public air
                    G
it was right in front of me
              F
it was almost there
               E
how could they know?
           F
I can understand how little

they could understand of what went...


Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
down and down and down it goes
Am            Am/h     C     D
when stepping off the open road

C   Am   G  Am
G   F   Em  F  G

C
but you've been spreading dirt my friend
                 Am
words that were untrue
                  G
crowned yourself among the men
            F
that gave so much to you
                   E
I think you should know
             F
there is only so much time

before your sad song comes around, and...


Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
down and down and down it goes
Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
when stumbling on the lies you told
Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
down and down and down you go
Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
ask me who I wouldn't know


C    Am   G  Am
sail on
G   F   Em  F
sad one
G    Am  C  Am
sail on
G   F   Em
sad one


C
precious, precious

you've lost your halo

senseless, aimless
                Am
you chose your own road
                  G
and you'll walk on endlessly
                     F
thinking that you're clean
               E
but I hope you know...


Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
down and down and down it goes
Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
when stumbling on the lies you told
Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
down and down and down you go
Am        Am/h     C      D     C  D  C D
ask me who I wouldn't know


C    Am   G  Am
sail on
G   F   Em  F
sad one
G    Am  C  Am
sail on
G   F   Em  G
sad one
