This is a song for all the friends I've never met
em         A          F#          bm
It's not a song about Jupiter and Mars
em        A              C             G/b

This is a song for all the friends I've never met
em         A             F#             bm
It's not a song about a cold and lonely place
em        A                C             G/b
And not a song about somewhere in outer space
          A               A/g        A/f#         A/e
It's about a cabin in the woods or a cabin by the sea

D         D/c#         D/c              D/b
This is a song about a dream of meeting up
D      D/c#    D/c        D/b
A song about a cabin or a hut
em      A     F#            bm
Seeing friends you've never seen
em        A                     C             G/b
Having a drink and a laugh and  ..  Singing a song about
    A            A/g        A/f#              A/e
the city and the sea and the woods    and the monkeys

D         D/c#         D/c              D/b
This is a song I would like to sing with you
D         D/c#         D/c              D/b
This is a song where you could play your ukes
em               A           F#            bm
You'd play your Junos, you'd play your guitars
em              A             C                G/b
You'd play your mandos, you'd play your baby sitar
         A               A/g            A/f#            A/e
And your harp, and your flute, and your self-made jumbo lute
            D        F/d*   em/d*          D
And sing in   haaaa-aaaaa -  aaa-aaaarmony
            D        F/d*   em/d*          D
And sing in   haaaa-aaaaa -  aaa-aaaarmony
em                 A   A/g   A/f#  A/e
Aaaa-aaaa..aaa-aaaaaaah.

D         D/c#         D/c                  D/b
This is a song about a dream that will come true
D         D/c#         D/c              D/b
A dream recurring every time I think of you
em             A     F#              bm
When days get darker, and hills are steep
em               A      C             G/b
When nights get longer,   and valleys deep
        A   A/g   A/f#            A/e
We will meet,          and have a feast

D         D/c#             D/c               D/b
This is a song for all my friends around the world
This is a song for all my friends around the world

This is a    song     for all my friends
This is a    song     for all my friends
D         D/c# D/c             D/b               D
This is a  song    for all my friends Around the world

Sweet song, lovely stuff.  Thank you Geir.  I can only speak for myself of course, but, there are some really good people on this site, love of music, good music, real music is what drives us together.  Group hug time.

[Oldrottenhead]

i can relate to this one so much let's hope this song comes true.
i am sure it will

[Tony W]

This is a song that is fantastic, and not just because I have a cabin in the woods. While listening, I envisioned everyone meeting at our cabins, and realized that the sleeping arrangements would be a little different. All the instruments that we brought together would be loading up the insides of the cabins, and we would be resigned to sleeping in tents.

I'm with Dave, Group hug time. Great song Geir.

[Gnasty]

Great song Geir....I was wondering when someone was gonna write a song like this. It`s amazing how we all probably feel the same just from sharing and liking each others music.

Hell yeah we should all meet up and do a cd like Hearing Aid, and a concert like Live Aid.

When i win the lottery it will definitely happen. 

Beautiful tune...

[cuthbert]

This is a beautiful song by Geir that expresses a most wonderful sentiment...and a certain instrument mentioned also happened to catch my ear. You really have an admirable range of musical styles as well as a knack for lyrics.

Thanks Geir - this one's iPod bound.  

[Gary F]

Geir,you have been able to say what probably everyone one this site feels inside,and you said it beautifully my friend!!!!!

[Oldrottenhead]

been listening to this all day, i think we should all add to this with lots of vocals gnasty planted a seed with me i was think we could all sing along like on we are the world kinda stylee, with mr alfsen's permission of course.
whaddyathink?

[henwrench]

Ok, right then, where do we begin?    I fucking love this song. This song makes me wanna weep and makes wanna meet you all. This song makes me wanna buy it. I think this song should be the official Songcrafters song. I think we should have this song PERMANTLEY in the 'featured song' banner as like our anthem. The message and the love in this song should always be there, always one click away. PLEASE SOMEBODY, 64, ORH, SIR FLASH..... with all the shit going on in the world, the world needs 'A Song For My Friends'.
