Came to see friends

Walk old streets again  
D                                        G 
Grab a bite and a beer by the sea 
C                C/B  
It caught my attention 
Am              
The old town has grown  
D                              G 
That's why I came alone 
 
I've been treated well  
I raised all kinds of hell  
When a full tank was only a fin  
Ain't it quite funny how things turn around  
I heard I was in town  
 
D                             G 
Madman in a pickup truck  
D                      G 
So many years ago 
F#m                                     Em 
Changes have come like the storms of the season 
G                                   D  
But time here still moves slow  
 
Passed the old joints  
My favorite haunts  
We'd stay for twenty or ten  
Ain't it quite funny word gets around  
I heard I was in town  
 
(instrumental break) 
 
I was a madman in a pickup truck  
So many years ago  
Changes have come like the storms of the seasons  
Time here still moves slow  
 
Came to see friends  
Walk old streets again  
Maybe strike up a tune with the moon  
Don't it seem funny  
Word gets around  
I heard I was in town   
Ain't it quite funny  
Word gets around  
I heard I was in town
