Were Going To Be Friends Chords & Tabs
Were Going To Be Friends Tab
The other tabs on here were very good, I just wanted to add an extra bass
note in the strumming pattern that Jack uses and gives the song more drive.
Also added a 5 tone in all the G chords to make it brighter. The picking is
a little tougher this way but very rewarding.

Lyrics + Chords Reference
D
fall is here, hear the yell
D
back to school, ring the bell
G
brand new shoes, walking blues
D
climb the fence, book and pens
A G D
i can tell that we are gonna be friends
walk with me, suzy lee
through the park, by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we've found
then safely walk to school
without a sound
well here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now it's time to learn
numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
G D
and we don't notice any time pass
G D
we don't notice anything
E
we sit side by side in every class
G
teacher thinks that i sound funny
A
but she likes the way you sing
tonight i'll dream while i'm in bed
when sill thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when i wake tomorrow i'll bet
that you and i will walk together again
cause i can tell that we
are going to be friends
