Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Tabbed by: Maria :)
Tuning: Standard
Here are the basic chords for this song :)
The notes in [brackets] before each section are just my personal
suggestions for how to play it accoustically with just one guitar
and try to keep the feel of the original song - they are not how
Craig from cloud cult performs it, but they have a whole band :)

[8 quick downward strums on each chord with long pause in between chords]
[I knock on the guitar on the offbeats during the pauses]
Intro: G D C G
[just an average strumming pattern]
D G D C G
All I need is a good good friend
D G D C G
All I need is a good good friend
[combo of open chords and knocking on the guitar for rhythm]
G C D
Oh this life is so strange, you need a sense of humor.
G C D
The maker is half caretaker and half joker.
[fast downward strumming, 2 strums per beat]
G D
We are not broken ones...just shattered pieces of the same bright sun,
C
trying to figure out which way to run,
G
And I can't do this alone.
[just an average strumming pattern]
D G D C
All I need is a good good friend
G
To get me through this.
D G D C
All I need is a good good friend
G
To help me out
D
When I'm burning down
C
When I'm all stressed out
G
When I'm underground.
[open chords or minimal strumming]
G
Life is a playground, but it takes a lot work.
D
You better learn to love, or it'll tear you apart,
Em
cuz in the end, we are measured by the size of our heart,
C
and we can't do this alone.
[fast downward strumming, 2 strums per beat]
G
Some of us are laughing, while some of us are choking
D
Some of us can't change til every bone has been broken.
Em
All the while the maker just sits there joking,
C
"You never really were alone."
[just an average strumming pattern]
D G D C
All I need is a good good friend
G
To get me through this.
D G D C
All I need is a good good friend
G
To help me out
D
When I'm burning down
C
When I'm all stressed out

Thank you for being around.
