Verse:
Db
   Thank you for being a friend
Gb
   Traveled down a road and back again
      Ab                                     Db
Your heart is true, you´re a pal and a confidant
-nc-
I´m not ashamed to say
Gb
   I hope it always will stay this way            
    Ab                                         Db    Db  Ab  Bbm
My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow

   And if you threw a party
  Gb                   F7
Invited everyone you knew
      Abm       Db7
Well, you would see
             Ebm7               Bbm
The biggest gift would be from me
         Gb                  Ab
And the card attached would say

With walking canes and hair of gray
Abm      Db7
Have no fear
      Ebm7                Bbm
Even though it's hardly here

I will stand real close and say
