BEN'S MY FRIEND
SUN KIL MOON

CAPO: NONE

INTRO:
Fm Eb

VERSE:
Gm7 Ab
I woke up this morning, August 3rd
Eb
It's been a pretty slow and uneventful summer

Went to visit a friend in Santa Fe
Cm Eb
Went to New Orleans and went to see my family
Ab
Woke up this morning and it occurred
Cm
I needed one more track to finish up my record
Eb
I was feeling out of fuel and uninspired
Cm
Laid on my bed, too hung, a little down, a little tired
Eb
Met my girl and we walked down Union Street

I was scared and my head was in a bunch of places
Gm7
Bought a $350 pair of lampshades
Ab
And we ate at Perry's and I ordered crab cakes

Gm7
Blue crab cakes
Ab
Blue crab cakes
Gm7
Blue crab cakes


VERSE:
Cm Eb
She said I seemed distracted and asked what was going on with me

I said I can't explain it and it's a middle age thing
Bb
She said okay and ate her eggs Benedict
Ab
And I looked at the walls cluttered with sports bar shit

Gm7
Sports bar shit
Ab
Sports bar shit
Gm7 Bbm7
Sports bar shit

Gm7
Ba ba ba
Ab
Ba ba ba
Gm7 Fm Eb Fm Eb
Ba ba ba


VERSE:
Fm
Got on the phone and I called my mother
Eb
And called my father, talked a little bit with my sister

She's got a new boyfriend, he's a deer hunter

And she's getting used to venison
Cm
And my dad's still fighting with his girlfriend
Gm
About his flirting with the girls in Panera Bread
Eb
My mom is good but sounded out of breath
Gm Fm7 Ab
I worry so much about her, I worry to death
Fm7 Gm7
I worry to death
Ab
I worry about her to death
Fm7 Gm7
I worry to death


VERSE:
Fm
The other night I went and saw The Postal Service
Eb
Ben's my friend but getting there was the worst

Trying to park and getting up the hill
Fm
And find a spot amongst the drunk kids staring at their cells

Standing at the back with the crowd of eight thousand
Eb
I thought of Ben when I met him in 2000

At a festival in Spain
Cm
He was on the small stage then and I didn't know his name

Now he's singing at the Greek and he's busting moves
Bb Eb
And my legs were hurting and my feet were too
Gm
I called him after, said I'll skip the backstage hi/bye
Fm Ab
But thanks for the nice music and all the exercise
Fm Gm7
And we laughed and it was alright
Ab
And we laughed and it was alright
Fm7 Gm7
And it was alright


VERSE:
Gm
There's a fine line between a middle-aged guy with a backstage pass
Eb
And a guy with a gut hanging around like a jackass

Everybody there was twenty years younger than me

I'll leave with this, not my fondest memory
Gm Ab
I carried my legs back down and then I gave
Eb
My backstage passes to two cute asian girls

I drove to my place near Tahoe
Cm Fm
Got in my hot tub and I thought well that's how it goes

And it was quiet and I was listening to the crickets

And Ben's still out there, selling lots of tickets
Eb
And though I’m contented, there’s a tinge of competitiveness

But Ben's my friend and I know he gets it
Cm
Then in a couple of days my meltdown passed
Bb Eb
Back to the studio doing twelve hours shifts

Singing a song about one thing or another
Gm Ab
Another day behind the microphone this summer


OUTRO:
Fm Gm7
This Tenderloin summer
Ab
This Tenderloin summer
Gm7 Fm
This Tenderloin summer
Cm7
Ba ba ba
Ab
Ba ba ba
Cm Fm Eb Fm Eb
Ba ba ba
