[Verse 1]
B E B
Was it really years ago,it seems like only yesterday
F#
The last time that i saw you laugh at me and fly away
E B
I remember all the good times and the songs we used to sing
A E B
Old friend we sure have missed you,but you ain't missed a thing
[Verse 2]
B E B
Lord you should of heard the music and all the changes it's gone through
F#
But the funny thing is lately it keeps an easing back to you
E B
But there's always something missing,it'll never be the same
A E B
Old friend we sure have missed you,but you ain't missed a thing
[Verse 3]
B E B
They've been writing books about you and the stories that they tell
F#
Make you look like some kind of angel but we both know you as mean as hell
B E B
I've had my share of hard times but i lived through the strain
A E B
Old friend i sure have missed you,but you ain't missed a thing
[Verse 4]
B E B
People talk about you after all this time
F#
You were many things to many people but you were a friend of mine
B E B
I've been thinking about how long you've been gone,the things you've never seen
A E B
Old friend i sure have missed you,but you ain't missed a thing
A E B
Old Buddy we sure have missed you,but you ain't missed a thing
