Cracker – Friends chords

Cracker  Friends

Transcribed by Jfregly

Every chord in the song gets four beats, except where there s a G followed by an F in 
intro, in the verse and in the chorus.
The G and F get two downstroke beats each.  Oh, and there s a country-style finish at 
end, with a quick D G flourish.  That s it.
