Hey Kind Friend (guitars) 
-Amy Ray 
4/4 time 
Part One: Amy's guitar 
Part Two: Emily's dulcimer 
 
*NOTE FROM ME: You absolutely NEED to listen to the 
album to get the hang of this, especially for the outro 
and for the dulcimer part.  Excuse any and all typos. 
Ok, enjoy! =) 
 
Part Three: Amy's guitar, also, I believe

*** intro = 10 measures. Riff one starts at the first 
measure and continues until Part three enters 
(part three is the chords at the bridge and chorus). 
Guitar one should (also) play Part Three.  *** 
 
*** vocal comes in at eleventh measure *** 
 
Hey kind friend 
I don't know when I'll see you again 
on a ferry boat bound to Victoria 
layin' down to hide from the wind 
Big Dipper hangin' over the city 
and everything now is different for me 
and it ain't no use in explainin' 
the scenery 
 
 
       Esus 
I said hey kind friend 
        A 
Help me forget where I've been 
         Esus 
Hey kind friend remember who I am 
 
 
I was too late in Spokane 
So I caught a ride through the Cascade range 
I saw the sun die in Olympia 
Running down on Capital Lake 
 
 
Now I ask you for some relief 
it's one true route that you bring to me 
it's 3 am, and it's good company 
 
 
       Esus     E              A 
I said hey kind friend help me forget where I've been 
         Esus           E              A 
Hey kind friend help me remember who I am 
         Esus               E            A 
Hey kind friend, don't know if I'm gonna see you again 
          Esus    E         A 
it's okay friend, it's okay friend

*** 4 measures of only part two, then 8 measures of part 
one and part two, and then two measures of only part 
one. *** 
 
So I'll meet you in New Orleans 
I'll see you around 
'Cause I don't know if it's worth comin' down 
and callin' from a gold rush town 
 
 
           Esus     E                 A 
And I said hey kind friend help me forget where I've been 
         Esus           E             A 
Hey kind friend help me remember who I am 
         Esus                 E                 A 
Hey kind friend, said I don't know if I'm gonna see you again 
          Esus    E        A 
it's okay friend, I'm okay friend 
                Esus    Esus (stop) 
I said I'm okay friend, I'm okay friend. 
 
*** THE OUTRO *** 
 
After the last "I'm okay", and starting on the word "friend", 
Part One ceases to exist for four measures.  On the fifth 
measure, Part Two rests for two measure when Riff One picks 
back up.  The both continue until they fade out into 
nothing . . .
