Friends Of Friends Of Bill (Acordes)

[Verse 1]

C#m            B                   F#

Those neighbor kids, they meant no harm.

C#m              B                      F#

Came home from church to find a three-alarm.

C#m      B                     F#

To my sister’s, she gave us a key.

C#m              B                 F#

Three years, one room, two kids and me.



[Chorus]

B11                  F#

But he would lift my burden—

E                  C#m

All the power, the comfort



In his name.

B11                    F#

    Is that so much to ask—

E                 C#m

To believe and be unashamed?



[Verse 2]

C#m            B                           F#        E

Stay after church, for friends of friends of Bill.

C#m            B          F#              E

I tell the story of my son, his need, the pain to kill.

C#m            B                      F#        E

How I saved all the money, a box in a drawer.

C#m                B                     F#        E

How I’d give it to him; knew what it was for.



[Chorus]

B11                  F#

But he would lift my burden—

E                  C#m

All the power, the comfort



In his name.

B11                    F#

    Is that so much to ask—

E                 C#m

To believe and be unashamed?



[Bridge]

E

The visits get harder.

Ab                      E

He lowers his eyes, and every time

         C#m

They get darker.

B                                    F#

I show him the pictures drawn by his kid.

E                        C#m                       F#

How do you learn you can smother someone with your love?

E                         C#m          F#

Isn’t loving at all in this world hard enough?





C#m            B11                 F#m

Those neighbor kids, they meant no harm.
