Well, I just bumped into an old friend of mine I hadn't seen for years
G Em C D
We talked about the good old times over a couple a jars of beer
G Em C G
Seems like another world now that all of the old folks are dead
G Em C D
And he looks kinda similar but inside he's just out of his head
G Em C G
Singin' la, la, la...
G Em C D
la, la, la...
G Em C G
Well, he smoked all my cigarettes and he emptied my purse
G Em C D
Some things they never change, well, at least they don't get worse
G Em C G
We struck gold at two thirty care of some gee gee up in the Ayr
G Em C
But by the time we got 'round to collecting our winnings the pub landlord
D
had already been there
G Em C G
Singin' la, la, la...
G Em C D
la, la, la...
G Em C G
I asked him about his missus, seems they parted long ago
G Em C D
Not only that but she seems to have a kid by everyone we know, oh no!
G Em C G
Well, I managed to change the subject by ordering another round
G Em C D
Then in who should walk none other than dear Charlie Brown
G Em C G
Singin' la, la, la...
G Em C D
la, la, la...
G Em C G
The last time I saw him he was waving me goodbye
G Em C D
Singin' la, la, la...
G Em C G
Singin' la, la, la...
G Em C D
la, la, la...
