Was it really years ago?
Seems [G] like only [D] yesterday
The last time that I saw you
[C] Laugh at me and [A] fly away
I [G] remember all of the good times
[D] And the songs we used to sing
Oh friend, we sure have missed you
[C] But you [G] ain't missed [D] a thing
Lord, you should have heard the music
And [G] all the changes it's gone [D] through
But the funny thing is lately
It [C] keeps easing back to [A] you
[G] But there's always something missing
[D] It'll never be the same
Oh friend, we sure have missed you
[G] But you ain't missed [D] a thing
They've [G] been writing books about you
And [D] the stories that they tell
Make you look like some kind of angel
And we [C] both know you mean [A] to say
[D] I've had my share of hard times
[G] But I've lived through the [D] strain
Oh friend, I sure have missed you
[C] But you [G] ain't missed [D] a thing
[C]
[Bb]
[A]
[D]
People [G]
talk about you
[D] After all this time
You were many things to many people
[C] You were [A] a friend of mine
I've been [D] thinking about how long you've been gone
[G] The things you've never [D] seen
Oh friend, I sure have missed you
[G] But you ain't missed [D] a thing
Oh buddy, we sure have missed you
[Em] But [G] you ain't missed [D] a thing
