Hey, Dave

From Beaucatcher Farewell

(In Bb – capo 3)

Hey, Dave, buddy pal of mine (C-G-C-G)

God knows I hope you’re doing fine over there (G-G/F#-Em-Am-D)

Say, Dave, just thought I’d drop a line (C-D-G-Em)
And talk about some thoughts, and things we shared (C-G-D)

Funny how the times have changed, old friend

People fly like leaves on the autumn wind

All the friends and lovers we may never see again

With each ending something new begins

Is it still hard for you to carry the gun

Defend the land that someone says should be free

Cowards ever fight and brave men run, ah Dave,

Sometimes, you know, it seems that way to me (chorus)

I’ve been thinking about the times we spent together, years ago

Laughin’ and a-talkin’ all night long

Entertaining people that we never got to know

We found life in a bottle and a song

Now here I am upon a ship out on this stormy sea

You’re over there in that grim, war-torn land

Now who’s standin’ in the spotlight that once shined on you and me

In this work, friend, you never get a hand (chorus)

So what happens if and when this mess is done, for you and me

All those dreams of songs and travels yet to come

Where two young men thought that music set folks free

Ideals sink beneath the roar of guns (chorus)

Hey, Dave, buddy pal of mine

Oh, it’s been so long since I’ve had a word from you

Say, Dave, if you’ve got the time
Let me know what you’ve been thinkin’, too

Let me know what you’ve been thinkin’, too
