G / D7sus4 /
All my friends are married--
G / D7sus4 /
Ev'ry Tom and Dick and Harry--
G D7/F# Em(7) / Am(7) / D(7) /
It must be strong of you to go it alone--

You know the coppers rode him right outa town--
CHORUS

G / D7sus4 /
Love to chew the fat with folks--
G / D7sus4 /
I been list'nin' to all your dirty jokes--

I'm so thankful for these friends I do receive--
