Verse
Am
Some roads that you take
C
Some bonds we'll choose to break
E E7
I swore I'd no long be the pallbearer
Am
But I carried you to bed
C
So you could rest your head
E E7
You were taking off a load, heavy drinking
Am
The world it carries on
C
Your memories in songs
E E7
And your pictures on my wall are not forgotten
Am
There was hymns that came from mouths
C
That turned crosses upside down
E E7
But it came through their teeth with great ease
F C
And all the bobbing heads in sync
F G
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
C F
But you carry on in pictures and in songs
C
And the unmade be you slept in
G
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
F C F C
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend
