(MY FRIENDS ARE GONNA BE) STRANGERS 
(L. Anderson)     Merle Haggard (1965)
    F                    Bb
Oh the love you promised would be mine forever
  F                  C
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
     F                    Bb
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
    F           C          F
Just once I turned my back and you were gone
    F                    Bb
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
        F            C
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
      F                    Bb
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
      F            C            F
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
    F               Bb
It amazes me not knowing any better
     F                      C
Than to think I had a love that would be true
  F                     Bb
Why I should be taken out tarred and feathered
     F         C        F
To have let myself be taken in by you
     F                   Bb
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
       F              C
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
      F                    Bb
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
      F           C             F
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
