[verse]
A
My friend, my friend
D A
When will it be
E
That I see you again
A
It's all got to end
D A
Be-fore the streets are lined
E
With graves from end to end
A
My friend, my friend
[verse]
My friend, my friend
Like soldiers in the trenches
You fight back again
And you pay no mind
To the fact that you're being picked-off
One at a time
My friend, my friend
[bridge]
Bm D
And if dignity were gold
A E
You'd be the wealthiest of men
Bm D
And the courage of a lion
A E
You've shown time and time a-gain
Bm D
With con-viction of the saints
A E
You've stood and firmly held your ground
Bm D
A-gainst the horrors of this plague
A E
And those who'd put you down
[verse]
My friend, my friend
So few in either church or state
Can give the reason why
They won't raise a hand
To stop the suffering or to ease
The pain of the dying
My friend, my friend
[verse]
My friend, my friend
When will it be
That I can talk with you again
I can't find the reason why
That corruption lives
While the good of heart
Must be the first to die
My friend, my friend
[verse]
My friend, my friend
When will it be
That I see you again
When will it be
That I see you again
My friend, my friend
