[Intro 1]
[A][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Thank you for being a friend
[Bm]Traveled down a road
and back again
Your [E]heart is true,
you're a pal and a confi[A]dent

[Verse 2]
[A]I'm not ashamed to say
[Bm]I hope it always will stay this way
My [E]hat is off,
won't you stand up and take a [A]bow

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F#m]And if you threw a party[A]
In[D]vited everyone you [C#]knew
Well, [Em]you would [A]see
the biggest [Bm]gift would be [F#m]from me
And the [D]card at[Bm]tached would [E]say

[Chorus 1]
Thank you for being a [A]friend
Thank you for being a [Bm]friend
Thank you for being a [E]friend

[Interlude 1]
Thank you for being a friend
[A][A]

[Verse 3]
[A]If it's a car you lack
[Bm]I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
What[E]ever you need,
any time of the day or [A]night

[Verse 4]
[A]I'm not ashamed to say
[Bm]I hope it always will stay this way
My [E]hat is off,
won't you stand up and take a [A]bow

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F#m]And when we both get older[A]
With [D]walking canes and hair of [C#]gray
[Em]Have no [A]fear, even [Bm]though it's hard to [F#m]hear
I will [D]stand real [Bm]close and say

[Chorus 2]
[E]Thank you for being a friend
[A](I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
[Bm](I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
[E](I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
[A](I wanna thank thank you)
Let me tell you 'bout a friend
Thank you for being a [Bm]friend
(I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
[E](I wanna thank you)
Thank you for being a [A]friend

[Bridge 1]
And when we [G]die and float a[F#m]way
Into the [F]night, the Milky [A]Way
You'll hear me [G]call as we as[F#m]cend
I'll see you [Dm]there, then once a[E]gain
