Carl Perkins and Paul McCartney

C                          Em
On the Isle of Montserrat, Though I never shall forget
Dm                                 G
Just a country boy, a guitar and a song
C                   Em
You invited me in, And you treated me like king
Dm                                  G
And you've given me a reason to go on

C  Em  Am       F          C           G
My old   friend,  Thanks for inviting me in
C  Em  Am       F              Dm               G
My old   friend,  May this goodbye never mean the end
C                                         F
If we never meet again this side of life, In a little while, over yonder, 
D7
Where it's peace and quiet
C  Em Am         F                    G                C
My old    friend,  Won't you think about me every now and then

If I told you how I feel, Oh, it wouldn't sound so real
'Cause emotions, they are just now settin' in
But it sure is great to know, That wherever we may go
We can always be the best of friends

My old friend, Thanks for inviting me in
My old friend, May this goodbye never mean the end
And if we never meet again this side of life
In a little while, over yonder, Where it's peace and quiet
My old friend, Won't you think about me every now and then

And I'll think about you,
My old friend

Yeah...My old friend
