Friendship

Words & Music by Cole Porter, 1939
Recorded by Judy Garland & Johnny Mercer, 1940


A7        D   Cdim   E7    A7     D       DM7   D7
If you're ever up a tree, call on me;

           G   D9   Fdim A7   D
If you're ever in a mess, S.O.S.

       A7            E        Em           F#7 Em7      D
If you ever feel so happy you land in jail,    I'm your bail.


Refrain:

A7   D     G/B    D     G/B   D      G/B    D    A7
It's Friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship

      D      D7              G      Gm    D   G/B   Bb7  A7  D 
When other friendships have been forgot, ours will still be hot.

D             Bm7    Fdim  A7   D
Lah-dle-ah-dle-ah-dle dig, dig, dig


A7        D   Cdim   E7    A7     D       DM7   D7
If you're ever up a tree, phone to me;

           G    D9   Fdim    A7       D
If you're ever down a well, ring my bell;

       A7              E                Em          F#7 Em7    D
If you ever lose your teeth when you're out to dine,   borrow mine.


Repeat Refrain:


A7       D   Cdim        E7    A7     D       DM7   D7
If they ever black your eyes, put me wise;

        G    D9        Fdim    A7       D
If they ever cook your goose, turn me loose;

A7                 E                    Em   F#7         Em7      D
If they ever put a bullet through your brain,   I'll complain.


Repeat Refrain:
