Mark-almond - Just A Friend - Other Peoples Rooms
John Mark and Mark Almond were great session musicians in the 60's and early 70's. Working with the likes of 
The Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful and John Mayall. Their song "The City" is a widely covered piece as is 
New York State Of Mind a hit for Billy Joel. Truly one of the most underrated bands of all time..
You can use the (G chord) either standard or x05433 and the D/D5 is just a matter of picking to add to to the
sound that is produced by a second guitar or orchestra. I realize that it is slightly off on a couple of 
places but they are orchestrated areas. For any live performance this should suffice.

Mark-almond - Just A Friend - Other Peoples Rooms

John Mark and Mark Almond were great session musicians in the 60's and early 70's. Working with the likes of

The Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful and John Mayall. Their song "The City" is a widely covered piece as is

New York State Of Mind a hit for Billy Joel. Truly one of the most underrated bands of all time..

You can use the (G chord) either standard or x05433 and the D/D5 is just a matter of picking to add to to the

sound that is produced by a second guitar or orchestra. I realize that it is slightly off on a couple of

places but they are orchestrated areas. For any live performance this should suffice.

[Verse 1]

Bm F#m G C

I see her every day but she turns her face away

Bm F#m G

Her eyes tell me the pain in her heart

Em F#m7

Why I ask myself again

Bm Bm7 Bm D D5 Em

"Does she stay with the man who brings her pain?"

F#m7 Bm

But she forgives him just the same

Bm Em F#7

[Verse 2]

Bm F#m G C

When she cries she comes to me as a friend, just a friend

Bm F#m G

And I know she loves me as a friend

Em F#7 Bm Bm7 Bm D Dsus4 D5 Em

But if she could know the pain I feel when she goes to him again

F#m7 Bm

The memory still remains

Bm Em F#7

[Verse 3]

Bm F#m G C

He will greet me with a smile as he does everyday

Bm F#m G

Questions crying in his eyes I turn away

Em F#7 Bm B7 Em

But comes the night refrain I'll be with her again

F#7 Bm F#7

Even though I'm just a friend

Bm Em F#7

[Outro]

Em F#m7 Bm B7 Em

But comes the night refrain I'll be with you again

Even though I'm just a friend, just a friend
