CAPO ON 1 (originally played on a 12-string guitar)


[Verse 1]
A
Sometimes I remember the old days
E
When the world was filled with sorrow
D                                              A
You might have thought I was living but I was all alone
A
In my heart the rain was falling
E
The wind blew, the night was calling
D                                     A
Come back, come back, I'm all you've ever known


[Chorus]
E
Open the door and come on in
D                            A
I'm so glad to see you, my friend
D              A                 E
You're like a rainbow, coming around the bend
 D         A
And when I see you happy
A         D     A
Well, it sets my heart free
E                 D                E        D         A
I'd like to be as good a friend to you, as you are to me


[Verse 2]
A
There were friends who could always see me
E
Through the haze their smiles would reach me
D                             A
Saying okay, saying goodbye, saying hello
A
Soon I knew just what I was after
E
Was life and love, tears and laughter
D
Hello, my good friend
Hello, my darling
   A
What do you know


[Chorus]
E
Open the door and come on in
D                            A
I'm so glad to see you, my friend
D              A                 E
You're like a rainbow, coming around the bend
 D         A
And when I see you happy
A         D     A
Well, it sets my heart free
E                 D                E        D         A
I'd like to be as good a friend to you, as you are to me


[Verse 3]
A                           E
I used to think it was only me feeling alone
             D                          A
Not feeling free to be alive to be a friend
A                            E
Now I know we all have stormy weather
                                 D
The sun shines through when we're together
                                           A
I'll be your friend, right through to the end


[Chorus]
E
Open the door and come on in
D                            A
I'm so glad to see you, my friend
D              A                 E
You're like a rainbow, coming around the bend
 D         A
And when I see you happy
A         D     A
Well, it sets my heart free
E                 D                E        D         A
I'd like to be as good a friend to you, as you are to me
