Verse:

G              B          E
Packing up the dreams God planted
A                       D
In the fertile soil of you
G                B          E(play at 7th fret-x799xx)
Cant believe the hopes He's granted
A                                D
Means a chapter in your life is through

Prechorus:

D                          E
But well keep you close as always
        A               C
It wont even seem youve gone
G                   B       E
cause our hearts in big and small ways
     A                  D        G
will keep the love that keeps us strong

Chorus:

    G                    D             C                 D
And friends are friends forever if the Lords the Lord of them
      G                   D                C              D
And a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end
           B                          E                C
Though its hard to let you go, in the Fathers hands we know
        A                     D              NC________________
That a lifetimes not too long                to live as friends
