[Verse 1]
[G]Mr.
Davenport and
Mr.
James
[Em]Mr.
It's so [C]funny
I never [G]knew their [D]first names
Mr.
[G]Davenport and
Mr.
[Em]James
Since
[C]Mr.
James has died
Mr.
Davenport
But, boy, [D]it hasn't been [Em]the same
They were [D]my neigh[G]bors
I'd see them [Em]in their yard
[C]They would play checkers
From [G]dawn into [D]dark
[G]Ooh, they'd argue
Even pretend [Em]to fight
Then [C]one of them would laugh
And everything would be all [Em]right
[D]Mr.
[G]Davenport and
Mr.
[Em]James, it's so [C]funny,
I never [G]knew their [D]first names
Mr.
[G]Davenport and
Mr.
[Em]James
Since
[C]Mr.
James' death
Mr.
Davenport hasn't [Em]been the same
I still [D]remem[G]ber that gray
an[Em]d cloudy day
When the [C]ambulance took
Mr.
James [D]away
Mr.
[G]Davenport's face was
[Em]solemn and grim
But the [C]friendship they shared
even death could not [Em]end
[D]Mr.
[G]Davenport and
Mr.
[Em]James
It's so [C]funny,
I never [G]knew their [D]first names
Mr.
[G]Davenport and
Mr.
[Em]James
In my [C]heart I believe
That they will see each other [Em]again[G][Am]
[D]He's gon[G]e, a sad[Am] man,
[D]I've [G]never seen him cry
[B]His sadness inside re[Em]flects in his eyes
And it [A]makes me want [F]to cry
I just want [G]to [D]cry, but I don't know [G]why
He don't [Em]seem [C]right
Without his [G]very, [D]very best friend
[G]When will the [Em]suffering
Of this [C]kind old man
When [G]will it en[D]d
He's all [G]alone, his friend[Em]s are gone
And [C]I know he [G]sure [D]misses,
he sure misses
Misses
Mr.
[Em]James
[C]He just [C]doesn't seem the same
