To An Old Mate
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret
[Intro]
Dm Am G C
[Verse]
C G
Old Mate! In the gusty old weather,
Em F
When our hopes and our troubles were new;
C G
In the years we spent wearing out leather,
F
I found you un-selfish and true
C G
And I’ve gathered these songs together
Em F
For the sake of our friendship and you...
C G
And I send them along instead of the letters
F C C
I promised I’d write to you...
[Verse]
C G
I remember, Old Man, I remember-
Em F
The tracks that we followed are clear
C G
The jovial last nights of December,
F
The solemn first days of the year
C G
Long tramps through the clearings and the timber,
Em F
Short partings on platform and pier
C G
I remember, Old Man, I remember-
F C C
The tracks that we followed are clear...
[Bridge]
Dm Am
I can still feel the spirit that bore us
F C
and often the old stars will shine-
Dm Am
I remember the las spree in chorus
F G
For the sake of that other Lang Syne.
Dm Am
When the tracks lay divided before us,
F C
Your path through the future and mine
C G
I can still feel the spirit that bore us,
F C
Yeah and often the old stars will shine...
[Solo]
C G
Em F
C G
F
[Verse]
C G
You will find in these pages a trace
Em F
of that side of our past which was bright,
C G
And recognize sometimes the face of a friend
F
A friend who has dropped out of sight;
C G
I have gathered these songs together
Em F
For the sake of our friendship and you;
C G
I send them along instead of the letters
F C
I promised I’d write to you...
C G
And I send them along instead of the letters
F
I promised to write ...
[Outro]
Dm Am G C
