Topic: Dear Friend of Mine
Here's my second song. It's sort of country style. It's more serious than my first one and has a different feel to it. It's played on ukulele. I had a go at recording it with myself singing harmony in the chorus but it came out with quite an echo, so I put it up with just the one voice as well. I'm on soundcloud as mazzy catseyes.
Dear Friend of Mine
3/4 waltz time - strum - Dudd
Intro: [A] [A7] [D] 3/4 time
[D] You were my friend, [Dmaj7] [D7] [G] true friends are rare
[A] There are too few who [D] really care
[G] You hold such [Em7] treasures [G] in your heart
And [A] think somehow you'll never [D] part
[D] I thought our sto-[Dmaj7]ry [D7] would [G] go on and on
Be-[A]fore I was ready, [D] you were gone
[G] I thought you'd [Em7] never [G] go away
But [A] destiny called and [D] you couldn't stay [D7]
[G] Where are you now? -[Gb]-[G] [D] Where are you now? -[Db]-[D]
[A] Dear friend of mine, [D] where are you now? [D7]
[G] Where are you now? -[Gb]-[G] [D] Where are you now? -[Db]-[D]
[A] Dear friend of mine, [A7] where are you [D] now?
[D] Life rushes by [Dmaj7] at [D7] a [G] startling pace
And I [A] realise how much I [D] miss your face
[G] I miss your [Em7] smile and your [G] crazy laugh
But [A] you walk a separate [D] path
[D] We shared our thoughts, [Dmaj7] [D7] our [G] joys and our pain
[A] I always hoped that [D] we'd meet again
But [G] life goes [Em7] on, or [G] so they say
[A] Maybe not in the same [D] way [D7]
[G] Where are you now? -[Gb]-[G] [D] Where are you now? -[Db]-[D]
[A] Dear friend of mine, [D] where are you now? [D7]

[A] Dear friend of mine, [A7] where are you [D] now?
[D] You knew the ve-[Dmaj7]-[D7]ry [G] depths of me
But [A] you needed to be [D] free
[G] I could not [Em7] hold a [G] shooting star
Remember [A] me wherever you [D] are [D7]
[G] Where are you now? -[Gb]-[G] [D] Where are you now? -[Db]-[D]
[A] Dear friend of mine, [D] where are you now? [D7]
