.5   |    :5   .5      :(o6*/1)   .5   |   :5    .5       :5*   .5      |    :::3*  |  .::r

Lyrics:
I've done a lot of living and I found,
No matter where you go the old world 'round,
They always go together hand in hand,
Where there's one there'll be the other, music and friends.

When blue skies turn to grey and hide the sun,
When tired hands their daily work have done,
Nothing seems to turn things 'round again,
And make the old world right like music and friends.

Chorus:  Music and friends, it's so good to bring together music and friends,
              Side by side no one can break them,
              When we take the time to make them,
              Where there's one there'll be the other, music and friends.

End with
Chorus:  Music and friends, it's so good to bring together music and friends,

              Where there's one, there'll be the other, music and friends.
