'Looking for a Friend'
By: Cody Jinks and his Tonedeaf Hippies
Album: 30
Standard Tuning - Capo 1
Intro:   E–  A–   E  
I stopped Eby a place I used to know
  ABut nobody knew my Ename
And I fell Eout of place and out of time
  ABut I had one just the Esame
The new bar Atender did not seem to care
About a story of back Ethen
It’s gettin’ hard to Bfind ‘em
Have you Aseen ‘em
I’m lookin’ foEr a friend
It’s been a Etime ‘round here just gettin’ by
  AThings are hard but nothings Enew
And I’ve been Ewaitin’ for that sun to break
  AOn a cloudy afterEnoon
Yeah this Awinters been much colder
Then the ones I knew bacEk then
It’s getting’ hard to Bfind ‘em
Have you Aseen ‘em
I’m lookin’ foEr a friend
And I go Bdown the road and back again
It’s Ahard rememberin’ where I’ve been 
And EI ain’t changed  
It seems the world Btook off    and left me 
That’s the way it goes It’s a Alonely road
The dreamer follows
  ELike Peter Pan in Neverland all aBlone
Break:  
And I’m still Esingin’ for my supper
  ALike I’ve always Edone
But now the Ebusiness and the politics 
  AHave taken most the fEun
But I’ll be Aout there chasin’ sun down
And I’ll be home when God knows Ewhen
I’m lookin’ out to Bfind one
I’m hopin’ I might Asee one
I’m lookin’ for a Efriend 
And I go Bdown the road and back again
It’s Ahard rememberin’ where I’ve been 
And I Eain’t changed  
It seems the world took Boff    and left me 
That’s the way it goes It’s a Alonely road
The dreamer follows
                                  E          B   E–  A–  E  
  Like Peter Pan in Neverland all alone
I stopped Eby a place I used to know
  ABut nobody knew my Ename

'Looking for a Friend'

By: Cody Jinks and his Tonedeaf Hippies

Album: 30

Standard Tuning - Capo 1

E A E

Intro: – –

I stopped by a place I used to know

A E

But nobody knew my name

And I fell out of place and out of time

A E

But I had one just the same

The new bar tender did not seem to care

About a story of back then

It’s gettin’ hard to find ‘em

Have you seen ‘em

I’m lookin’ for a friend

It’s been a time ‘round here just gettin’ by

A E

Things are hard but nothings new

And I’ve been waitin’ for that sun to break

A E

On a cloudy afternoon

Yeah this winters been much colder

Then the ones I knew back then

It’s getting’ hard to find ‘em

Have you seen ‘em

I’m lookin’ for a friend

And I go down the road and back again

It’s hard rememberin’ where I’ve been

And I ain’t changed

It seems the world took off and left me

That’s the way it goes It’s a lonely road

The dreamer follows

E B

Like Peter Pan in Neverland all alone

Break:

And I’m still singin’ for my supper

A E

Like I’ve always done

But now the business and the politics

A E

Have taken most the fun

But I’ll be out there chasin’ sun down

And I’ll be home when God knows when

I’m lookin’ out to find one

I’m hopin’ I might see one

I’m lookin’ for a friend

And I go down the road and back again

It’s hard rememberin’ where I’ve been

And I ain’t changed

It seems the world took off and left me

That’s the way it goes It’s a lonely road

The dreamer follows

E B E A E

– –

Like Peter Pan in Neverland all alone

I stopped by a place I used to know

A E

But nobody knew my name
