 [Verse]
 A 
    Thank you for being a friend
 D   
    Traveled down a road and back again
       E                                     A 
 Your heart is true, you´re a pal and a confidant 
 N.C.
 I´m not ashamed to say
 D  
    I hope it always will stay this way             (1 strum each)     E                                         A    A E* F#m*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 F#m                    A7 
    And if you threw a party
   D                   C#7 
 Invited everyone you knew
       Em       A7  
 Well, you would see 
              Bm7               F#m    
 The biggest gift would be from me
          D                  E
 And the card attached would say
 
 [Chorus 1]
 E                      A      
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        D       
 Thank you for being a friend
                        E   
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        A 
 Thank you for being a friend 
 A     D 
 A
   If it´s a car you lack
 D    
   I´d surely buy you a Cadillac
     E                                     A 
 Whatever you need any time of the day or night 
 A 
   I´m not ashamed to say
 D  
   I hope it always will stay this way
     E                                         A   A* E* F#m*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 F#m                        A7     
    And when we both get older 
      D                          C#7 
 With walking canes and hair of gray
 Em      A7  
 Have no fear 
       Bm7                F#m
 Even though it's hardly here
         D                    E  
 I will stand real close and say
 
 [Chorus 2]
 E                      A     
 Thank you for being a friend 
                       (I wanna thank you)

 [Bridge]
             Em 
 And when we die, 
            F#m 
 and float away 
           Dm 
 Into the night, 
           A/E  A  
 the milky way       
                Em  
 You'll hear me call 
        F#m 
 as we ascend 
               Dm 
 I'll say your name 
            A/E  A
 then once again
 N.C.
 Thank you for being a
