A Real Close Friend
Recorded by George Jones
Written by George Jones and George Riddle
D7I think you know a real close friend of Gmine
The girl that you described sounds so D7familiar
The one you say you've loved for quite some Gtime
Are you sure there's no G7mistake for I have a Cfeeling
That Gyou're in love with a D7real close friend of Gmine
Well, D7I'm glad we've had this little talk Gtogether
For at D7last I began to see the Glight
I've been Cspending many lonely nights here Glately
All D7because of that real close friend of Gmine
I D7think you know a real close friend of Gmine
Well, I'll bet she says each day her love grows D7stronger
And if you left she'd surely lose her Gmind
And if she ever G7makes you feel unCwanted
Then GI think you know a D7real close friend of Gmine
Repeat #2
All D7because of a real close friend of Gmine
