Standard (EADGBE)

On the Isle of Montserrat, Though I never shall forget

Just a country boy, a guitar and a song

You invited me in, And you treated me like king

And you've given me a reason to go on

My old friend, Thanks for inviting me in

My old friend, May this goodbye never mean the end

If we never meet again this side of life, In a little while, over yonder,

Where it's peace and quiet

My old friend, Won't you think about me every now and then

If I told you how I feel, Oh, it wouldn't sound so real

'Cause emotions, they are just now settin' in

But it sure is great to know, That wherever we may go

We can always be the best of friends

My old friend, Thanks for inviting me in

My old friend, May this goodbye never mean the end

And if we never meet again this side of life

In a little while, over yonder, Where it's peace and quiet

My old friend, Won't you think about me every now and then

And I'll think about you,

My old friend

Yeah...My old friend
