[Intro]

 [Verse]
 D 
    Thank you for being a friend
 G   
    Traveled down a road and back again
       A                                     D 
 Your heart is true, you´re a pal and a confidant 
 N.C.
 I´m not ashamed to say
 G  
    I hope it always will stay this way             (1 strum each)     A                                         D    D A* Bm*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 Bm                    D7 
    And if you threw a party
   G                   F#7 
 Invited everyone you knew
       Am       D7  
 Well, you would see 
              Em7               Bm    
 The biggest gift would be from me
          G                  A
 And the card attached would say
 
 [Chorus 1]
 A                      D      
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        G       
 Thank you for being a friend
                        A   
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        D 
 Thank you for being a friend 
 D     G 
 D
   If it´s a car you lack
 G    
   I´d surely buy you a Cadillac
     A                                     D 
 Whatever you need any time of the day or night 
 D 
   I´m not ashamed to say
 G  
   I hope it always will stay this way
     A                                         D   D* A* Bm*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 Bm                        D7     
    And when we both get older 
      G                          F#7 
 With walking canes and hair of gray
 Am      D7  
 Have no fear 
       Em7                Bm
 Even though it's hardly here
         G                    A  
 I will stand real close and say
 
 [Chorus 2]
 A                      D

 [Bridge]
             Am 
 And when we die, 
            Bm 
 and float away 
           Gm 
 Into the night, 
           D/A  D  
 the milky way       
                Am  
 You'll hear me call 
        Bm 
 as we ascend 
               Gm 
 I'll say your name 
            D/A  D
 then once again
 N.C.
