Friends must part

from Looking West (Remix) by Dermot (Dee) McIlroy

/

about

A song about losing the friends that you grew up with as you move into your adulthood.

lyrics

G C#dim Am7 D
Friends must part, or so they say.
G C#dim Am7 D
Few will have the time to stay.
G B7 A7 Am D7 (G C#dim Am7 D) twice
It’s time to leave and go away and never an explanation.

G C#dim Am7 D
For some it’s a small misunderstanding.
G C#dim Am7 D
For some new friends and new beginning.
G B7 A7 Am D7 (G C#dim Am7 D)
A few get jealous and leave you standing without an explanation.

G C#dim Am7 D
When friends were many and times were good,
G C#dim Am7 D
How we would pledge to stay together.
G B7 A7
We would fight our foes with our......

Bridge
Em E6 Em7
.....wooden swords, cardboard shields and our plastic guns.
Em E6 Em7 A
Soldiers all till the end of time, never leave each other’s side


G C#dim Am7 D
But time goes on and memories fade.
G C#dim Am7 D
Our childish pledges are put aside.
G B7 A7 Am D7
The years of fun and brotherhood dwindle just like I knew they would.
G C#dim Am7 D
So I say to all who hear my words,
G C#dim Am7 D
Don’t let the past lie undisturbed
G B7 A7
No matter what come say this day,
G Am D7 (G C#dim Am7 D) repeat
That was my friend I am pleased_____ to¬¬¬____ say

Whistle outro G C#dim Am7 D
