(He picks almost the entire song, you can strum this, but it doesn't sound as good. It's

Well, my dad, he used to tell me

Any man can ba a king

It aint that complicated

It's a very simple thing

You don't need no castle

D A Bm

Or throne for sittin' in

Bb A D

All you need is one good friend

If ya find yourself somebody

Who would meet you at a stump

On a rainy Sunday mornin,

Before the sun is even up

Who will stand right there beside you

D A Bm

Fight any fight you're in

Bb A D

Then you've got one good friend

(He strums this part, instead of picking)

There aint nothing wrong

With all those rowdy boys I run with

Em G D

The ones that I go drink with, after work

G A

Lately it's been hittin' me,

C D

When my heart's in trouble

Em G A7

You're the one that always shows up first

You're a pleasure as a lover,

And a treasure as a wife

I don't have to wonder,

Who I can count on in this life

Bb D A Bm

You've already proved it to me, time and time again

Bb A D

Baby, you're one good friend

You're the one that sends me flyin'

Bb A Bm

And gently reels me in

Bb A D

Baby, you're one good friend

Thats all folks! A great song, by a great Nova Scotian artist!
