Richey Lee

G Bm Richey Lee was his Father's boy C D Big, loud, Hard-drinkin' bundle of Joy G Bm A walkin' laugh wrapped up in corduroy C G Richey couldn't do no wrong G Bm Grew up with a fast runnin' crowd C D Good bunch of boys, just a little too loud G Bm Can't fault a man for being proud C G Richey kept rollin' on G Bm Spent his days in a rock-n-roll band C D Tellin' jokes, a guitar in his hand G Bm Tryin' hard to meet every demand C G Of all of those late-night shows G Bm Whiskey-drunk on a Saturday night C D She caught his eye comin' out of the light G Bm Half way there he had to get in a fight C G Back home that's just the way it goes C D G Strange days, they leave you in wonder C D G And good times, they don't always stay C D G G/F# Em And true love, it will shake you like thunder C D Em C But old friends just fade away G D G Old friends just fade away G Bm Summertime on the river again C D Fishin' poles and a two-dollar grin G Bm Ain't ever gonna laugh like that again C D Fallin' right to the ground G Bm Count the miles down to New Orleans C D Borrowed cash and dirty bluejeans G Bm Couple of boys lookin' for Cajun queens C G Thinkin' they own the town G Bm But we all left to find work out of town C D Even the wild ones, they slow down G Bm Richey felt like he was comin' unwound C G Got tired of playin' the game G Bm Liquor bottles pilin' up before noon C D Richey said he just needed some room G Bm We all saw the end comin' way too soon C D And man that's an awful shame C D G Strange days, they leave you in wonder C D G And good times, they don't always stay C D G G/F# Em And true love, it will shake you like thunder C D Em C But old friends just fade away G D G Old friends just fade away
