Key: B
Introduction:
F Bb
My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.
Gm F
It was the summit of my long career,
F Bb
But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer,
Gm Bb
And my manager said that I should not appear.
F Bb
I walked out onto the stage and started to speak.
Gm F
The first night I've missed for a couple of years,
Gm Bb
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer,
F Bb
And just when I wanted no one to be there,
F7 Bb Bb/A Gm
All of my friends were there.
Gm/F Eb Eb/D Cm7
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
A A7/G D7/F# G C7
All of my friends were there to stand and stare,
C7 F7 Bb Bb/A Gm
Say what they may, all of their friends need not stare.
Gm/F Eb Eb/D Cm7
Those who laughed were not friends anyway.
A7 A7/G D7/F# G C7
All of my friends were there to stand and stare.
F Bb
Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise.
Gm F
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair,
F Bb
And gave the impression that I did not care,
Gm Bb
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair.
F Bb
Came the day, help with a few last glasses of gin,
Gm F
I nervously mounted the stage once again,
F Bb
Got through my performance and no one complained,
Gm F
Thank God I can go back to normal again.
F7 Bb Bb/A Gm
I went to that old cafe,
Gm/F Eb Eb/D Cm7
Where I had been in much happier days,
A A/G D7/F#
And all of my friends were there,
G C7
And no one cared.
C7 F7 Bb Bb/A Gm
Say what they may, all of my friends were there.
Gm/F Eb Eb/D Cm7
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
A A/G D/F#
All of my friends were there,
G C7
Now I don't care.
