Johnny Cash - Best Friend: chords

A#                                       D#
An old man on his death bed once said to me
            A#         F        A#
You are the master of your destiny

Chorus:
   G#                          C#
A diamond is a diamond and a stone is a stone
       G#                         C#
But a man's not all good nor all bad
          G#                         A#
When the chips're all down and your back's at the wall
You're the best friend that you've ever had
You're the best friend that you've ever had

A#                      G#      A#
So you laugh when it's time to laugh
A#                     G#      A#
and you cry when it's time to cry
                 G#      A#
Live while it's time to live cause
you'll die when it's time to die

Then he closed his eyes and he left me alone
This old man's wisdom brought his meaning home

Chorus

So you laugh when it's time to laugh
and you cry when it's time to cry
Live while it's time to live cause
you'll die when it's time to die hmm
Well now that I'm older I found this is true
The thing that remains is the good that you do

Chorus
