Merle Haggard - My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers Chords

[Intro]  
E    B7  E     


[Verse 1]  
 E                                        A       E 
Oh the love you promised would be mine forever, I would have 
                     B7          E                                 A
bet my bottom dollar on. Well it sure turned out to be a short forever. 
      E                B7               E
Just once I turned my back and you were gone. 


[Chorus]  
 E                                        A                 E 
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers, I'm all through
                  B7            E                              A
ever trusting any one. The only thing I can count on now is my fingers. 
        E                 B7                  E
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone.

[Verse 2]  
  E                             A              E
It amazes me not knowing any better, than to think I had a love
              B7      E                                        A
that would be true.  Well I should be taken out and tarred and feathered,
        E             B7          E
To have let myself be taken in by you. 


[Chorus]  
  E                                        A                 E 
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers, I'm all through
                  B7            E                              A
ever trusting any one. The only thing I can count on now is my fingers. 
        E                 B7                  E
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone.
