Here's to Friends

Description

This is a tutorial on how to play the version of this song played at the SAMW WUMB Acoustic Camp 7/25 in NH. Great music camp and super musicians to be with for a week of music! I had a couple requests for this song. Update: I mention using an A7 form a couple times, but it should have been Am7 as per the sheet below. Here are the lyrics and chords:

Here’s to friends, that span the years 300203 Am7
And stay along for the ride walk to C Gm
Special times, we never will forget 300203 Am7
As we watched the years go by walk to C Gm

Once a year, we travel north Am7 walk to C
To share some music with our friends G add Am7
We gather at Geneva Point Am7 walk to C
And write a song that never ends G add Am7

All the turns, twists, and bends
Some we’d do a different way
But all in all, I’d still take the same roads
That we traveled in our day

But there are times that test us Am7 walk to C
When we don’t know where to go G add Am7
That’s what our friends are for Am7 walk to C
Somehow, they always seem to know G add Am7

Now looking back over all those years,
Oh, I wouldn’t change a thing
You and I, we’re the best of friends
I know we’d do it all again

There are times when we go too fast
And someone has to rein us in
That’s when friends are at their best
To turn a loss into a win

So, here’s to friends, that span the years
And stay along for the ride
Special times, we never will forget
As we watch the years go by
