Friend For Life – Rod Stewart 
From the album “Another Country”
Tabbed by Roj Vincent
          A  F#mA  F#mA  E
Intro:     /  /  /  /  / 
           A            F#m        A
Through a smoke filled glass on a desperate night
                         D                F#m
When the sole of my shoe lets in rain
           Bm               E              A     Ab     F#m
When the heart’s tired of running and the milk’s gone sour
            Bm       A     Bm    E        D
Will your feelings still be the same?
          A           F#m          A            F#m
When the match won’t light so the flames don’t tremble
          A                      D         A
And the years are condemning us ‘till
             Bm           E             A            F#m
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me and a friend for life
         Bm        E        A
And I’m hoping it might be you.
                     A  F#mA  F#m
Instrumental break :  /  /  /  
        A           F#m    A          F#m
When I think of life as a chance not taken
      A          E            D        A
As a compromise tinged with regret
          Bm              E              A    E    F#m
When the kids leave for breeding and the T    V’s king
          Bm          F#m        A       E      A
Will you tell me we’re not done yet,
         F#m        A
Will you think of me as a distant island
                                  D           A
Or will you come with me to the moon?
          Bm           E             A          F#m
I need a soul mate to hold me and a friend for life
         Bm        E        A
And I’m hoping it might be you
Ab         C#m      Ab           C#m
Give me a sign and I’ll keep the faith, 
D           A            F#m     E
Keep me in coffee and so safe
D                   C#m      A
And I’ll feed your cats 
    F#m        E        D       C#m
And I’ll     paint    walls
     Bm           E         A
And I’ll be your one-night stand
        A EAEDC#mBmEAEF#mBmF#mEA
Break:   //////////////
          A                          F#m
Will you come with me in the certain knowledge
          A                              D
That the catch is – there’s no catch at all
             C#m          Bm  E         A         F#m
I’ll need a soul mate to hold me and a friend for life
          Bm       E        D      A   F#m
And I’m hoping it might be you
          Bm         E       A
Yeah I’m certain it must be you
                  F#mA  F#mA
