 [Verse]
 F 
    Thank you for being a friend
 Bb   
    Traveled down a road and back again
       C                                     F 
 Your heart is true, you´re a pal and a confidant 
 N.C.
 I´m not ashamed to say
 Bb  
    I hope it always will stay this way             (1 strum each)     C                                         F    F C* Dm*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 Dm                    F7 
    And if you threw a party
   Bb                   A7 
 Invited everyone you knew
       Cm       F7  
 Well, you would see 
              Gm7               Dm    
 The biggest gift would be from me
          Bb                  C
 And the card attached would say
 
 [Chorus 1]
 C                      F      
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        Bb       
 Thank you for being a friend
                        C   
 Thank you for being a friend 
                        F 
 Thank you for being a friend 
 F     Bb 
 F
   If it´s a car you lack
 Bb    
   I´d surely buy you a Cadillac
     C                                     F 
 Whatever you need any time of the day or night 
 F 
   I´m not ashamed to say
 Bb  
   I hope it always will stay this way
     C                                         F   F* C* Dm*
 My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 
 
 [Bridge]
 Dm                        F7     
    And when we both get older 
      Bb                          A7 
 With walking canes and hair of gray
 Cm      F7  
 Have no fear 
       Gm7                Dm
 Even though it's hardly here
         Bb                    C  
 I will stand real close and say
 
 [Chorus 2]
 C                      F

             Cm 
 And when we die, 
            Dm 
 and float away 
           Bbm 
 Into the night, 
           F/C  F  
 the milky way       
                Cm  
 You'll hear me call 
        Dm 
 as we ascend 
               Bbm 
 I'll say your name 
            F/C  F
 then once again
