C5 Here's a song to all my friends F5 G5 I know they'd like C5 I remember every drunken F5 G5 Night at the old dive C5 Driving the ol'wreck F5 G5 Trying to make it home somehow C5 One more pit stop at our favorite F5 G5 Watering hole C5 A5 The ghost of christmas past F5 G5 Swallowed all our pride C5 A5 We'd open up our story books F5 G5 And water down the eyes C5 Our demons raised their A5 glasses singing F5 G5 "I propose a toast to all my friends" C5 A5 F5 Who's buying the next round...
