Friend and Lover

                                         Frank Delaney 1975 (C) 2001

 

We're all searching for our soulmate; our friend and lover.

 

C (capo 5)                                                                                      Am

When the world around me's moving faster, than I'd care to see,

            G                                                             C

with a thousand people talkin', rather aimlessly at me,

C                                                                          Am

I can close my eyes, and find my mind is seeking solitude,

               G                                                             C

dreaming of my friend and lover, to chase away my blues.

 

 

C                                                                                Am

In the morning you're my friend, as we rise to meet the day,

          G                                                                     C

makin' sandwiches and coffee, as we head out on our way,

C                                                                                 Am

in the evening you're my lover, how you give yourself to me,

         G                                                               C

quiet pleasures in the darkness, it's so good to be free.

 

Chorus:

                 F                   C

Friend and lover, fill my life,

                G                 F                C

bring your love, till the morn's early light,

                 G                  C

friend and lover, by my side.

 

C                                                                                Am

I may never own a mansion, with a guest house by the sea,

        G                                                     C

or a fancy yacht for cruisin', upon the Caribeaan,

C                                                                             Am

it's not these things I value, they are meaningless you see,

         G                                                                   C

for I have my friend and lover, she is all the world to me.

 

 

Chorus again

 

Chordal ending: C - Am - Em - F - G - Cmaj7
