Cracker Friends
Transcribed by Jfregly
Every chord in the song gets four beats, except where there s a G followed by an F in
intro, in the verse and in the chorus.
The G and F get two downstroke beats each. Oh, and there s a country-style finish at
end, with a quick D G flourish. That s it.

Verse
Well I d never sleep with your ex girlfriend
Even if she starts to flirt with me again
Allow me to apologize for my slightly wicked thoughts
Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got
If a fight breaks out and you re the cause of it
In some redneck bar where you ve been talkin shit
I will not forsake you later in that parking lot
Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got
Chorus
Well through the laughter and the tears
We go stumbling through the years
A bit dysfunctional well folks might say
Well I ve got the dirt on you
And you ve got plenty on me too
So I pray we stay together all our days
Solo on verse/intro chords
Verse
So when you re on a date and you finally bring that girl home
Put a little Captain Beefheart on the stereo and disconnect the phone
I ll show up drunk and raving
And then I ll pass out on the spot
Cause that s the kind of friend that you ve got
Chorus
Well through the laughter and the tears
We go stumbling through the years
A bit dysfunctional well folks might say
Well I ve got the dirt on you
And you ve got plenty on me too
So I pray we stay together all our days Dear lord!
So I pray we stay together all our days
