Chorus:
[F#5]Were you my [G#5]friend when I belonged?
[A5]Were you my [Bsus2]friend when I was strong?
[F#5]Were you my [G#5]friend when I was weak?
[A5]Were you my [Bsus2]freind when I was callin', crawlin', out of
my head?

The solo is in F# pentatonic, I believe, for any improvisers
or theory buffs. No promises on this tab...Alex is very
creative and very hard to follow. Oh yeah, in the chorus
that Bsus2 chord looks like this:
[--2--]
[--2--]
[--4--]
[--4--]
[--2--]
