Snowblind friend
View chords used in this chart
A D A B
You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
A B
Lying on the pavement with the misery on his brain
A D A B
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
A E D
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
D A B E
He only had a dollar to live til next Monday
A B
But He spent it all on comfort for his mind
D A
Did you say you think he's blind?
Someone should call his parents a sister or a brother
and they'll come to take him back home on a bus
But he'll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
And he'll never be another one of us
He said he wanted heavan but praying was too slow
So he bought a one way ticket on a airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flying low
Flying low, dying slow, flying low
The second verse is the same
The end of that verse flying low and dyin' slow is just the repeated D to A
After the solo, the song changes key up to B for the last verse so the
progression is:
B E B C#
B C#
B E B C#
B F# E
E B C# F#
B C#
E B
then the last words are, again just repeated E B
