He Was A Friend Of Mine chords
The Byrds 1965 (traditional song, earliest version as Shorty George 1939, author(s) unknown)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/He_Was_a_Friend_of_Mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose
No reason, or rhyme
He was a friend of mine
He was in Dallas town
He was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window
A gunner shot him down
He died in Dallas town
He never knew my name
He never knew my name
Though I never met him
I knew him just the same
Oh, he was a friend of mine
Leader of a nation
For such a precious time
A E D A Asus4 A Asus4 A 5x
Oh, he was a friend of mine
