[Verse 1]
[D]All [A]made [D]in the gusty old wea[G]ther
When our [A]hopes and our troubles were [D]new
In the years spent in wearing out [G]leather
I found you unselfish and true
[A]I have gat[G]hered these verses together[D]
[B]For the sake [E]of our [A]friendship and [D]you
You may think for a while
and with [G]reason
Though [A]still with a kindly regret
[D]That I've left it for late in the sea[G]son
To prove I remember you yet
[A]But you'll nev[G]er judge
me by that [D]reason
[B]Who profit [E]by [A]friends and forget
[D][G][A][D]
I can still feel
the spirit that [G]bore us
And [A]often the old stars will [D]shine
I remember the last freeing [G]chorus
For the sake of that other lang[A]sign
When the [G]tracks lay divided [D]before us
[B]Your path [E]through the fu
[A]ture and [D]mine
Through the frost wind that
cut like whip[G]lashes
Through the [A]ever -blind
haze of the [D]drought
And in fancy at times by the [G]flashes
Of light in the darkness of [A]doubt
I have [G]followed the tent poles and [D]ashes
[B]Of [E]camps that we [A]moved
further [D]out[G][A][D]
You will find in these pages a [G]trace of
That [A]side of our past that was [D]bright
And recognise something the [G]face of
A friend who has dropped out of [A]sight
I [G]send them along in the [D]place of
[B]The letters [E]I p[A]romised to w[D]rite
Yeah, homemade in the
gusty old [G]weather
When our [A]hopes and our troubles were [D]new
In the years spent in wearing out
[G]leather I found you unselfish and [A]true
I have [G]gathered these verses togeth[D]er
[B]For the sake [E]of our
[A]friendship and [D]new pleasure
