Strum
D-DU-UDU
Oh  we never know  where life  will take  us
 I  know it's just a ride on the wheel
And  we never know  when death  will shake us
And  we wonder how it will  feel
So  goodbye  my friend
 I  know I'll never  see you again
 But  the time  together  through all  the years
 Will take  away  these tears
 It's O.K.  now
 Goodbye my friend
I'd  see a lot  of things that  made  me crazy
 And  I guess I held on to  you
You  could've run away  and left,  well maybe
But  it wasn't time and we both  knew
So  goodbye  my friend
 I  know I'll never  see you again
 But  the time  together  through all  the years
 Will take  away  these tears
 It's O.K.  now
 Goodbye my friend
 A life  so fragile, a love  so pure
 We can't  hold on but we try
 We watch  how quickly it disappears
 And  we'll never know why
 But I'm O.K.  now
Goodbye  my friend
You  can go  now
Goodbye  my friend
