I'm Your Friend

CHORUS
(G7)
I know where you're going.
(C)
I know where you've been.
(D7)
I feel your pain and anger.
(G)
Remember I'm your friend.

VERSE 1
(G7)
They took your working job.
(C)
They stole your living house.
(D7)
The boys, they don't like you.
(G)
And the girls point and laugh.

CHORUS

VERSE 2
You're out on the highway,
thumb in the air.
You're heading for the Gold Coast.
You'll find it way out there.

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Life is a circle.
It goes round and round.
I see you coming back to me.
And your feet are on the ground.

CHORUS x2

Then There Was You

VERSE 1
(A)
There I was
walking down the road.
(E)
(A)
There I was
acting real cold.
(E)
(break down)
Then there was you.
Then there was you.
(C)
It was
(A)
gold
pure gold.
(E)

VERSE 2
(A)
Skies were grey,
fields of white.
(E)
(A)
Skies were grey.
Nothing's right.

Then there was you.
Then there was you.

Shining bright,
bright light.

VERSE 3
Found a spot
under a bridge.

Found a spot
to lay my head.

Then there was you.
Then there was you.

In my dreams,
sweet dreams.

VERSE 4
There I was...

"Civil War #1" - harmonica song

and then it was time to begin.
the men, they lined up proud.
they had their guns strapped over their shoulders,
and they were ready to climb the hill.

what was to come was imminent;
a fiery battle to have.
for all rights to man,
they'll fight to the death,
and justice will always prevail.

there they were at the low ground.
their enemies way up high.
every inch gained was a victory in numbers,
for all will rise the same.

yet their opponents were nothing but weak.
anger fueled their fire.
to share in their wealth was mocking tradition,
but to bogart they lose as well.

and the battle will go on forever.
for they are merely human.
climbing a hill and keeping them down,
a mixture of hell and heaven.
