[Verse 1]
[G]He [D]san[G]g his songs
on the streets for years,
for nickels and for dimes.
He [C]preached the words of Jesus,
drank [D]a l[G]ittle wine,
traveled around the country,
sang a song for you and me.
[C]He was a [D]friend of [G]mine
Now he never wanted nothing
While he served [D]his [G]time
He [C]taught us all to see the light
Although that [G]he was blind
Need someone to listen
He always had the [D]time[G]
He [C]was a [D]friend of [G]mine

The Death don't have no mercy,
took that friend [D]of [G]mine

Put your faith in Jesus,

[G]He [D]was[C] a friend[D] of mine[G]
He belonged to the band,
sang his last song [D]somewhere
[G]Said let[C] us get together children,
[G]right down here
He was a light in this world,
he was a voice we all could [D]hear
[Am]He w[G]as a[C] friend [D]of mine[G]
Yes, he sang his songs on
the streets for years,
for nickels and for dimes,

drank [D]a little w[G]ine,
traveled round the country,
sang a song for you and a song for me.
