My friend (a Geir Original)

[Geir]

I won't say to much about this one  ....

2 guitars, 1 voice


Update 20100117:
As requested, here are the lyrics and chords! I don't have the a guitar here as I'm writing this down, so it may be some mistakes , but I think it's fairly accurate. The second guitar may use some of the corresponding *-chords on the verse (sounds like that some places)

If the air is gone and the water's all too dark
if I hit the only tree when walking in the park
if I'm drowning in the middle of the woods
you cut right through it all and bring me back home
  
I miss you my friend
I wish you where here today
I miss you my friend
You're the best a man can get
