The greatEest friend I have in liAfeE  
Has brought Ame here to dwell
AwhilEe among your green green hills
All by the watery wellA  
The waEter from that wondrous well
Has madAe my eyes to see
And loosed my tongue to Esing with joy
That such a friend cB7an beE  
The greatest friend I have in life
Was hidden long from me
Above the mountains cold and wide
Beneath the sacred tree
That sacred tree whose bark I touched
Whose leaves did tell to me
The ancient tales that made me sure
My friend would come to me
My greatest friend a song has given
To sing where I may go
To sing among the green green hills
And where the waters flow
The waters from that wondrous well
That made my eyes to see
And made my mind to ever show
My greatest friend to me.

E A E

The greatest friend I have in life

Has brought me here to dwell

Awhile among your green green hills

All by the watery well

The water from that wondrous well

Has made my eyes to see

And loosed my tongue to sing with joy

B7 E

That such a friend can be

The greatest friend I have in life

Was hidden long from me

Above the mountains cold and wide

Beneath the sacred tree

That sacred tree whose bark I touched

Whose leaves did tell to me

The ancient tales that made me sure

My friend would come to me

My greatest friend a song has given

To sing where I may go

To sing among the green green hills

And where the waters flow

The waters from that wondrous well

That made my eyes to see

And made my mind to ever show

My greatest friend to me.
