[Intro]
Am  F  C  G
[Verse]
AmCall it in the air, it’s it Fheads or is it tails?
CAdd it to the list of every Gtime that I have failed while
AmClamouring for this and that, the Fcolor of the winning hat
CWhat will come to mind when you Ggive St. Pete a chat
AmStanding by those pearly gates, the Fones you love and ones you hate
CAll stand hand in hand and Gpatiently they wait
But AmPete you know I’ve thought it through,
there’s Fso much that I’ve yet to do
CThat’s the rub my son, it’s not Greally up to you
[Chorus]
AmHey there friend, Fthere there friend
Do you Cweep for yourGself?
AmHey there friend, Fthere there friend,
Could you Cweep for Gme?
[Verse]
I’ve been a Ambusy gettin’ dizzy bee, I’ll Fslow down in infinity
I Cused to say, with grinning Gteeth
Now Amthat I’m here I wish I stayed Flonger in each passing day
CCozied up to every one and Ggiven each a name
The Amones I can recall are nice, but Fwhat a debt to bet on dice
How Ccan we ever know which Gones define our life
AmDid you do the best you could, Fwould the bad outweigh the good?
That’s Call we really ask, and it's Gall we really should
[Chorus]
AmHey there friend, Fthere there friend
Do you Cweep for yourGself?
AmHey there friend, Fthere there friend,
Could you Cweep for Gme?
[Verse]
AmWhat about the ones still there, Fhow long ‘til they stop to care
For Cme, like a broken Gchair
Like Amanything, well who can tell, but Fhow long should they really dwell
on Cyou, before they’re Gwell
AmThey have all their own devices, Fring ‘em up to see their prices
They’ll Cbe here soon enough, now Gdoesn’t that sound nice
That’s Amwhat it means to be alive, you’re Fonly born so you can die
HeCllo, then goodGbye
[Chorus]
AmHey there friend, Fthere there friend
Do you Cweep for yourGself?
AmHey there friend, Fthere there friend,
Could you Cweep for Gme?
[Outro]
That’s Amwhat it means to be alive, you’re Fonly born so you can die
HeCllo, then goodGbye

[Intro]

Am F C G

[Verse]

Am F

Call it in the air, it’s it heads or is it tails?

C G

Add it to the list of every time that I have failed while

Am F

Clamouring for this and that, the color of the winning hat

C G

What will come to mind when you give St. Pete a chat

Am F

Standing by those pearly gates, the ones you love and ones you hate

C G

All stand hand in hand and patiently they wait

But Pete you know I’ve thought it through,

there’s so much that I’ve yet to do

C G

That’s the rub my son, it’s not really up to you

[Chorus]

Am F

Hey there friend, there there friend

C G

Do you weep for yourself?

Am F

Hey there friend, there there friend,

C G

Could you weep for me?

[Verse]

Am F

I’ve been a busy gettin’ dizzy bee, I’ll slow down in infinity

C G

I used to say, with grinning teeth

Am F

Now that I’m here I wish I stayed longer in each passing day

C G

Cozied up to every one and given each a name

Am F

The ones I can recall are nice, but what a debt to bet on dice

C G

How can we ever know which ones define our life

Am F

Did you do the best you could, would the bad outweigh the good?

C G

That’s all we really ask, and it's all we really should

[Chorus]

Am F

Hey there friend, there there friend

C G

Do you weep for yourself?

Am F

Hey there friend, there there friend,

C G

Could you weep for me?

[Verse]

Am F

What about the ones still there, how long ‘til they stop to care

C G

For me, like a broken chair

Am F

Like anything, well who can tell, but how long should they really dwell

C G

on you, before they’re well

Am F

They have all their own devices, ring ‘em up to see their prices

C G

They’ll be here soon enough, now doesn’t that sound nice

Am F

That’s what it means to be alive, you’re only born so you can die

C G

Hello, then goodbye

[Chorus]

Am F

Hey there friend, there there friend

C G

Do you weep for yourself?

Am F

Hey there friend, there there friend,

C G

Could you weep for me?

[Outro]

Am F

That’s what it means to be alive, you’re only born so you can die

C G

Hello, then goodbye
