[Intro]
 G 
 
 [Verse]
 G 
    Thank you for being a friend
 C   
    Traveled down a road and back again
       D                                     G 
 Your heart is true, you´re a pal and a confidant 
 N.C.
 I´m not ashamed to say
 C  
    I hope it always will stay this way             (1 strum each)     D                                         G    G D* Em*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 Em                    G7 
    And if you threw a party
   C                   B7 
 Invited everyone you knew
       Dm       G7  
 Well, you would see 
              Am7               Em    
 The biggest gift would be from me
          C                  D
 And the card attached would say
 
 [Chorus 1]
 D                      G      
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        C       
 Thank you for being a friend
                        D   
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        G 
 Thank you for being a friend 
 G     C 
 G
   If it´s a car you lack
 C    
   I´d surely buy you a Cadillac
     D                                     G 
 Whatever you need any time of the day or night 
 G 
   I´m not ashamed to say
 C  
   I hope it always will stay this way
     D                                         G   G* D* Em*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 Em                        G7     
    And when we both get older 
      C                          B7 
 With walking canes and hair of gray
 Dm      G7  
 Have no fear 
       Am7                Em
 Even though it's hardly here
         C                    D  
 I will stand real close and say
 
 [Chorus 2]
 D                      G

 [Bridge]
             Dm 
 And when we die, 
            Em 
 and float away 
           Cm 
 Into the night, 
           G/D  G  
 the milky way       
                Dm  
 You'll hear me call 
        Em 
 as we ascend 
               Cm 
 I'll say your name 
            G/D  G
 then once again
