Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

My big day, it was the biggest day of my life

It was the summit of my long career

But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer

And my manager said that I should not appear

I walked out onto the stage and started to speak

The first night I've missed for a couple of years

I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer

And just when I wanted no one to be there

CHORUS #1:

All of my friends were there

Not just my friends, but their best friends too

All of my friends were there to stand and stare

Say what they may, all of their friends need not stare

Those who laughed were not friends anyway

All of my friends were there to stand and stare

Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise

I wore a mustache and I parted my hair

And gave the impression that I did not care

But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair

Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin

I nervously mounted the stage once again

Got through my performance and no one complained

Thank God I can go back to normal again

CHORUS #2:

I went to that old cafe

Where I had been in much happier days

And all of my friends were there, and no one cared

Say what they may, all of my friends were there

Not just my friends, but their best friends too

All of my friends were there, now I don't care
