All Of My Friends Were There by The Kinks
All Of My Friends Were There
Capo 1st fret
E A
My big day, it was the biggest day of my life
F#m A
It was the summit of my long career
E A
But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer
F#m A
And my manager said that I should not appear
I walked out onto the stage and started to speak
The first night I've missed for a couple of years
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer
And just when I wanted no one to be there
CHORUS #1:
E E7 A A/G# F#m
All of my friends were there
F#m/E D D/C#
Bm7/A
Not just my friends, but their best friends too
G# G#7 C#7 F# B
All of my friends were there to stand and stare
B7 E E7 A
A/G# F#m
Say what they may, all of their friends need not stare
F#m/E D D/C#
Bm7/A
Those who laughed were not friends anyway
G# G#7 C#7 F# B
All of my friends were there to stand and stare
Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair
And gave the impression that I did not care
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair
Came the day, helped with a few last glasses of gin
I nervously mounted the stage once again
Got through my performance and no one complained
Thank God I can go back to normal again
CHORUS #2:
I went to that old cafe
Where I had been in much happier days
And all of my friends were there, and no one cared
Say what they may, all of my friends were there
Not just my friends, but their best friends too
All of my friends were there, now I don't care
