Old friends
Simon & Garfunkel
Capo 2
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Old Friends. Old Friends.
Dm7 G7 C Am
Sat on their park bench like bookends.
Dm7 G Am
A newspaper blown through the grass falls on the round toes
Cmaj7 F C6
of the high shoes of the Old Friends.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Fmaj7 Em7
Old Friends. Winter companions the old men.
Dm7 G7 C Am
Lost in their overcoats waiting for the sunset.
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am G
The sounds of the city, sifting through trees, settle like dust
F C6
on the shoulder of the Old Friends.
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 F Fm C
Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench quietly?
Dm7 Am
How terribly strange to be seventy.
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7 G7 C6 Am
Old Friends. Memory brushes the same years. Silently sharing the same fears.
