Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]My [Am]frien[D]d [Am]final[D]ly mad[Am]e a
record [A]and took to the [D]road and played guitar
He met this [Am]girl from Pennsylvania
stuck [A]by his [D]side in love and war
Fearful and fussy, but so faithful,
poor and de[G]voted, real and true
She's not the [D]type to be forsaken and
I see [A]much of her in [D]you
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
While on a [Am]gig up in Toronto d[A]ur
[Am]ing [A]a pa[D]use between his show
He met this [Am]foxy German stal[A]lion who
[Am]under[A] st[D]ood him head to toe
She played it smart and learned
his weakness and made
him con[G]fess and yield into
Her lust[D]ful whims became his fancy and I
would [A]fear the same from [D]you
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
Then in the [Am]swank suburbs of Houston
off [A]in a [D]mansion built of stone
Escorted [Am]by this wealthy widow
[A]into her [D]lounge and left alone
Her maid announced that she was waiting
for him to [G]come and rendezvous
Where he be[D]stowed a long relation one like I [A]hope to have with [D]you
[G]

[Verse 4]
Then on the [A]sands right off the ocean
just as [G]the [D]sun sank in the sea
So did my [Am]buddy slow and easy
[A]into a [D]freak of fancy- free
It was a group in automation getting
[G]together two by two
Where people [D]live and love one another,
people who [A]live like me and [D]you
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
Then on the [Am]beach in warm [A]Miami there
was a [D]teacher far from school
Taught him the [Am]way to please a woman,
[A]mad[Am]e him[A] concede the[D] Golden Rule
He learned to do it unto others as
he [G]used to just [Em]have [G]them do
So they [D]began to come together as
I will [A]try to do with [D]you
[G][D]

[Verse 6]
And there was [Am]one who was a virgin,
nev[A]er [G]been [D]touched by anyone
She was as [Am]pure as any angel,
in [A]fact she's [D]called to be a nun
But [G]it [D]was all be[G]cause my [D]buddy
just couldn't [G]spoil a girl so true
And so he [D]left her as he found her, like I may [A]have to do with [D]you[G]
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[A][Am][A][Am][A][D][Am][A][D]
[G][D][A][D][G][D]

[Verse 7]
The girl he's got [Am]now,
he's never left [A]her,
she was the [D]first I thought he'd shun
Until I [Am]saw my buddy's eyes,
[A]when she came for[D]th and bore his son
Since then he's known no other woman,
I think his [G]ramblin' days are through
They built a [D]home up in the country,
a life I'd [A]love to build with [D]you
[G][D]

[Verse 8]
Although you've [Am]never known my [A]buddy
and I am [D]sure he don't know you
But you [Am]know the life he's living [A]and all of
the [D]changes he's been through
Sweetheart, I'm talking about my buddy
'cause I don't [G]want to wind up blue
I could be [D]happy with you only 'cause I see [A]all of them in [D]you
