HELLO OLD FRIEND
Eric Clapton

from "No Reason To Cry"

transcribed by Daniel E. Smith

INTRO:
G       C       D
G       C       D


   G     D         C               G
As I was strolling down the garden path
        D      C               G
I saw a flower glowing in the dark
             D      C           G
It looked so pretty and it was unique
         D         C              G
I had to bend down just to have a peek


CHORUS
          Bm7               Am7
Hello old friend (hello old friend)
     C              D             G
It's really good to see you once again
          Bm7
Hello old friend  (hello old friend)
     C              D             G
It's really good to see you once again

G       C       D
G       C       D

I saw you walking underneath the stars
I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car
I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far
If I got out and walked to where you are

CHORUS

SOLO

G       C       D
G       C       D

An old man passed me on the street today
I thought I knew him but I couldn't say
I stopped to think if I could place his frame
When he tipped his hat I knew his name

CHORUS 2x

end on G
