[Intro]
E G C A
[Verse 1]
E G
It was a usual Saturday night
C A
At the bar at the end of the road
E G
As I was numbly sinking
C A
Into my seat as I began to erode
E G
As the 'tender knowingly filled up my glass
C A
A tear found its way to my eye
E G
As I recalled that not less than a year ago
C A
My friend was with me getting high
[Chorus]
E G
Martin, he is our friend
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
E G
We love Martin, he is our friend,
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
[Verse 2]
E G
We were both down at the coffee shop
C A
Discussing our plans for life
E G
When he said, "My dear Hudson,
C A
I fear I must have a wife."
E G
I first began to laugh my head off
C A
Before I figured it wasn't a lie
E G
And my smile disappeared from my face
C A
As I realized he was sayin' goodbye
[Chorus]
E G
Martin, he is our friend
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
E G
We love Martin, he is our friend,
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
[Verse 3]
E G
I said "Martin, I believe this will kill me,"
C A
As I struggled not to cry
E G
"But I will follow you to the end, my boy
C A
Cause I'm a real great good decent guy."
E G
But he pushed me away with a forceful shove
C A
And shook his head in despair
E G
And he said I couldn't go,
C A
For a wife we both couldn't share
[Chorus]
E G
Martin, he is our friend
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
E G
We love Martin, he is our friend,
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
[Verse 4]
E G
But I really couldn't handle a piece of it
C A
And I called out, coffee beans in my breath
E G
"Martin, this only means one thing
C A
We must fight till the end to the death."
E G
And he hastily pulled out his bowie knife
C A
As I did the same 'cross from him
E G
And we both launched o'er the table
C A
In a war very savage and grim
[Chorus]
E G
Martin, he is our friend
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
E G
We love Martin, he is our friend,
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
[Verse 5]
E G
In little over an hour
C A
Our blood had covered the floor
E G
And we stopped with both our knives broken
C A
Which signaled an end to the war
E G
But as I looked over to my fallen comrade
C A
I thought with growing despair
E G
And turning his face up to gaze into mine
C A
My friend Martin was dead lyin' there
[Chorus]
E G
Martin, he is our friend
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
E G
We love Martin, he is our friend,
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
[Verse 6]
E G
And so now I sit here and intoxicate
C A
As I reminicse the past
E G
And wish that in some way or another
C A
The die of fate could be recast
E G
Oh, my dear friend Martin
C A
Singing with the angels and saints
E G
I miss you day after day after day
C A
And beg to get out of this place!
[Chorus]
E G
Martin, he is our friend
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
E G
We love Martin, he is our friend,
C A
Yeah Martin, he is our friend
