Original Artist - Old Friend Chords

The reason I wrote this song is 
because when I was about 7 years old. 
I had a friend named Ryan. We hung 
out together all the time. And In 
the year 2000 my mom got a phone call, 
my best friend Ryan had been killed. 
He was playing on a Giant tree log 
and it rolled over on top of him. 
So this is the song I wrote about that

This song is 100% True and 100% for my Best friend

His favorite song was "Big House"
And he's the one I'm singin' for
and I know by now 
He's won the battle and the war

(Bridge, also same chords)

And I know he'd know my name
If he saw me in heaven

(Chorus)

(no chord)
And I know he's thinkin'

It's a big, big house
      Cadd9           G
Where we can play football
       G  Cadd9 D
It's a big, big house
Cadd9            G
It's my father's house
