[Intro riff]
After riff play G, Em then . . .

[Verse 1]
Em C D Em
Take off your hat, kick off your shoes I know you ain’t goin’ anywhere
Em C D Em
Run ’round the town singin’ your blues I know you ain’t goin’ anywhere.

[Chorus]
C D Em
You’ve always been a good friend of mine,
C D Em
But you’re always sayin’ “Farewell”
C D Em
And the only time that you’re satisfied
C D Em
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

[Main riff]

[Verse 2]
Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself…
Or is that what you’re tryin’ to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through.

[Chorus]
You’ve always got something to hide
Something you just can’t tell
And the only time that you’re satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well.

Love in a peaceful world love in a peaceful world

[Verse]
F G Am
You’ve always been a good friend of mine,

And the only time that you’re satisfied
F G Am
Is with your feet in the wishing well
