Friends Forever Chords

   
intro- drums then G

           G
I was a debater
                        D
Was not a stoner nor an inline skater
                       C 
Was not a player nor a player hater
E                           C
I was just a bookworm on a respirator
D                   G
Who’s to say that’s wrong
             G
I was in the chess club
                                 D
Didn’t have a swimming pool much less a true love
                             C
Didn’t have a dalliance much less a hot tub
E                              C
I was just a brain whose brain never let up
D                   G
Who’s to say that’s wrong

    C
The twelve years after five
                C               G
Are years we’re lucky to survive
                       E
Hang in there friends forever
              D
In memory far away
                      C
Hang in there friends forever
   E    D     G 
In memory far away
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/o/old_97s/friends_forever_crd.html ]
                 G
Went out for the football team
                                      D
Found out the hard way that you can’t live your Dad’s dream
                           C
Had pretty thin skin to be in the machine
E                             C
Then I found a guitar and the rest’s a fanzine
D                   G
Who’s to say that’s wrong

     C
The moral of the song
            C
Is that the high school kids are wrong
              C
You know they have been all along
         C                      G
Come graduation you’ll be gone
                      E
Hang in there friends forever
              D
In memory far away
                      C
Hang in there friends forever
   E    D     G 
In memory far away

solo over verse chords

     C
The moral of the song
            C
Is that the high school kids are wrong
              C
You know they have been all along
        C                  G
Come graduation you’ll be gone
                      E
Hang in there friends forever
              D
In memory far away
                      C
Hang in there friends forever
   E    D     G 
In memory far away

   E    D     G 
In memory far away

E   D end on G

ps. if youre playing this electric...for the verse play the E as a bar chord on the 7th
fret of the A string and for the chorus play the E as an open E cause thats how it is on 
the recording

if you wanna play it acoustic using all open chords it sounds cool too
