Thank You for Being a Friend

[Intro]
 E 
 
 [Verse]
 E 
    Thank you for being a friend
 A   
    Traveled down a road and back again
       B                                     E 
 Your heart is true, you´re a pal and a confidant 
 N.C.
 I´m not ashamed to say
 A  
    I hope it always will stay this way             (1 strum each)     B                                         E    E B* C#m*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 C#m                    E7 
    And if you threw a party
   A                   G#7 
 Invited everyone you knew
       Bm       E7  
 Well, you would see 
              F#m7               C#m    
 The biggest gift would be from me
          A                  B
 And the card attached would say
 
 [Chorus 1]
 B                      E      
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        A       
 Thank you for being a friend
                        B   
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        E 
 Thank you for being a friend 
 E     A 
 E
   If it´s a car you lack
 A    
   I´d surely buy you a Cadillac
     B                                     E 
 Whatever you need any time of the day or night 
 E 
   I´m not ashamed to say
 A  
   I hope it always will stay this way
     B                                         E   E* B* C#m*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 C#m                        E7     
    And when we both get older 
      A                          G#7 
 With walking canes and hair of gray
 Bm      E7  
 Have no fear 
       F#m7                C#m
 Even though it's hardly here
         A                    B  
 I will stand real close and say
 
 [Chorus 2]
 B                      E     
 Thank you for being a friend 
                       (I wanna thank you)

 Thank you for being a friend

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