Version 1 Version 2 
            I really like this song and the other versions were too hard for me to play,
so I tried to simplify it. It's not perfect, and it's in C (Andrew Gold's
version works in A with a Capo on 1st fret), but it's easier for me to play. 

[Intro]
C 

[Verse]
C 
   Thank you for being a friend
F   
   Traveled down a road and back again
      G                                     C 
Your heart is true, you´re a pal and a confidant 
N.C.
I´m not ashamed to say
F  
   I hope it always will stay this way             (*1 strum each)
    G                                         C    C* G* Am*
My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 

[Bridge]
Am                    C7 
   And if you threw a party
  F                   E7 
Invited everyone you knew
      Gm       C7  
Well, you would see 
             Dm7               Am    
The biggest gift would be from me
         F                  G
And the card attached would say

[Chorus 1]
G                      C      
Thank you for being a friend 
                       F       
Thank you for being a friend
                       G   
Thank you for being a friend 
                       C 
Thank you for being a friend 
C     F 
C
  If it´s a car you lack
F    
  I´d surely buy you a Cadillac
    G                                     C 
Whatever you need any time of the day or night 
C 
  I´m not ashamed to say
F  
  I hope it always will stay this way
    G                                         C   C* G* Am*
My hat is off, won´t you stand up and take a bow 

[Bridge]
Am                        C7     
   And when we both get older 
     F                          E7 
With walking canes and hair of gray
Gm      C7  
Have no fear 
      Dm7                Am
Even though it's hardly here
        F                    G  
I will stand real close and say

[Chorus 2]
G                      C

            Gm 
And when we die, 
           Am 
and float away 
          Fm (111330)
Into the night, 
          C/G  C  
the milky way       
               Gm  
You'll hear me call 
       Am

I'll say your name 
           C/G  C
then once again
N.C.
Thank you for being a
