Intro: G 
 
 
G 
You're a sweet, sweetheart, you've been a  
                 C 
real good friend. 
G             D                  G 
You're around when I'm down, you pick me up  
 
again. 
                D              C 
Though it could never be said, to my faults,  
       G          C            G 
you're blind..you overlook the bad while you  
F                    G 
keep all the good in mind. 
 
#1. 
G 
Now, there've been times when we just couldn't  
 
get on. 
                  D                 C 
And I thought I'd have to admit the feeling was  
G 
gone. 
             D                   C 
But you just closed your mind to all the seeds  
   G 
of doubt. 
                 D              C 
And somehow, you found a way to make it all work  
G 
out. 
 
 
G 
You're a sweet, sweetheart, you've been a  
                 C 
real good friend. 
G             D                  G 
You're around when I'm down, you pick me up  
 
again. 
                D              C 
Though it could never be said, to my faults,  
       G          C            G 
you're blind..you overlook the bad while you  
F                    G 
keep all the good in mind. 
 
#2. 
G 
And when I come home at the closin' of the day, 
                 D                    C 
you got a way of looking that sends a message  
   G 
my way. 
G                 D     C                  G 
What this message means any old fool could see. 
                   D                       C 
And the thing that makes me feel good, you mean  
            G 
it just for me. 
 
G 
You're a sweet, sweetheart, you've been a  
                 C 
real good friend. 
G             D                  G 
You're around when I'm down, you pick me up  
 
again. 
                D              C 
Though it could never be said, to my faults,  
       G          C            G 
you're blind..you overlook the bad while you  
F                    G 
keep all the good in mind. 
 
 
G 
You're a sweet, sweetheart, you've been a  
                 C 
real good friend. 
G             D                  G 
You're around when I'm down, you pick me up  
 
again. 
                D              C 
Though it could never be said, to my faults,  
       G          C            G 
you're blind..you overlook the bad while you  
F                    G 
keep all the good in mind. 
 
OUTRO: 
G                         C         G 
Sweet, sweet, sweetheart, you're my friend..you're
