[Ebm] [Eb] [Gb]
[Ab]
I'm glad you wonder how I knew
Bought your [Bb] brains to [Ab] make me blue
[Ebm] Some other guy you knew before
Seemed the two of [Bb] us got, you know I [Ab] love you more
It took me [Cm] by surprise, I must say
[Ab] That I [Eb] found out yesterday
Oh, John, all I had was a great vibe
Not [Ab] much longer would you be mine
All [Eb] I had was a great vibe
And [Ab] I'm just about to lose my [Eb] mind
Oh, yeah, yeah
You're a [Eb] great friend, you're so dope, [Gb] you'd be my [Eb] baby
[Bb] I'm the [Ebm] one man that's supposed to cry
For a [Bb] piece of tear that I've been [Ab] holding tight
[Ebm] Losing you, wondering my life is deep
Cause [Bb] you mean that [Ab] much to me
[Bbm] You could have [Cm] told me also
[Ab] That [Ebm] you loved someone else
It's [Eb] not hard to prove a great vibe
[Eb] Not [Ab] much longer would you be mine
All I [Eb] had was a great vibe
And [Ab] I'm just about to lose my [Ebm] mind
On and on, yeah
You're a great friend, you're so dope, you'd be my baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh
People say believe what you see
So [Bb] let alone [Ab] what you hear
[Ebm] But I can't help being confused
If [Bb] it's true, [Ab] please tell me, dear
[Bbm] Do [Cm] you pray to let me [Ab] go
For [Ebm] the other guy you had [C] before
But you're [Eb] not right through the great vibe
Not [Ab] much longer would you be mine
All [Ebm] I had was a [Eb] great vibe
And [Ab] I'm just about to lose my [Ebm] mind
On and on, yeah
You're a great friend, you're so dope, you'd be my [Eb] baby
Yeah, [Fm] yeah, yeah
On and on, [Ebm] yeah
You're a great friend, you're so dope, you'd be my baby
Should I let me go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Stand up, hey
You're a great friend
