Company Of Friends

I"ve seen Danny Schmidt play this with a Capo on 2. G D G When I die, let them judge me by my company of friends C G Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand C G Let them laugh for all the laughter Em D Let them cry for laughter’s end G D G But when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends G D G When I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe Let them raise a glass to consciousness C G And not spill a drop for grief C G Let the bubbles rise at midnight Em D Let their tongues get light as thieves G D G And when I die, let them toast to all the things that I believe G I believe in restless hunger C G I believe in red balloons C G I believe in private thunder D In the end I do believe G I believe in inspiration C G I believe in lightning bugs C G I believe in slow creation D In the end I do believe G I believe in ink on paper C G I believe in lips on ears C G I believe what's shared is savored D In the end I do believe G I believe in work on Sundays C G I believe in raising barns C G I believe in wasting Mondays D In the end I do believe G I believe in intuition C G I believe in being wrong C G I believe in contradiction D In the end I do believe G I believe in living smitten C G I believe all hearts will mend C G I believe our book is written D G By our company of friends G D G So when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends C G Let them know me as the footprints that I left upon the sand C G Let them laugh for all the laughter Em D Let them cry for laughter’s end G D G But when I die, let them judge me by my company of friends
