Chords for Kenny Rogers - You Can't Make Old Friends (duet with Dolly Parton) [Official Video]

_ Well, it's been 30 years since Islands in the Stream was a hit.
To this day, I never get tired of hearing that song.
Same with the audience.
Everybody loves that song.
When she walked in that room, something really special happened.
There was just something about mine and Kenny's chemistry with each other, our friendship.
People really sense what we really feel.
We are soul, I think, soul partners.
I believe that. We are.
There's different kinds of soul mates, but it's like with Kenny.
I just see him and I smile.
We cannot see each other for six months, and [Eb] we walk in a room, and it's like we're [Gm] just
back together again.
And you [Ebm] can't make a move.
We are [Ab] over.
_ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] What _ will [Eb] I do [Cm] when you're [Ab] gone?
_ _ _ [Bb] Who's gonna tell me [Eb] the truth?
_ _ _ Who's gonna finish [Ab] the stories that start the way [Gm] you always [Eb] do?
_ _ _ When somebody [Ab] knocks at the door, someone [Bb]
new [Eb] walks in, _ _ I will smile [Ab] and shake their
hands, but you [Bb] can't make [Eb] old friends.
_ [Ab] Can't make old [Eb] friends.
_ [Cm] Can't make [Eb] old [F] friends.
_ _ [Eb] It was me [Bb] and you [Ab] since way back when, but you [Bb] can't make [Eb] old friends.
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ It _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] won't sound [Eb] the same. _
_ _ [Bb] We'll join in [Cm] on those [Ab] harmony parties [Bb] when I call [Eb] your name.
You [Ab] can't make _ old [Eb] friends. _
[Cm] Can't make [Eb] old _ [F] friends. _
[Eb] It was you [Bb] and me [Cm] since way [Ab] back when, but you [Bb] can't make [Eb] old friends. _
_ [Ab] _ When St.
Peter [Eb] opens the gate, [Ab] and you call, [Eb] get in.
[Bb] _
_ [Cm] I'll be [Bb] there [Eb] just waiting [Ab] for you, cause you [Bb] can't make [Eb] old friends.
You can't make old friends.
When _ _ I'm [Bb] out [Cm] on the stage all [Ab] alone, and I [Eb] hear the music begin, _ _ _ we [Gm] all know [Cm] the show
must go on, [Ab] but you [Eb] can't make old friends.
No, no. _ _ _
[Ab] Can't make old _ [Eb] friends. _
[Cm] Can't make _ [Eb] old [F] friends. _ _
_ [Eb] You [Bb] and me, [Cm] we'll be young [Ab]
again, but you [Bb] can't make [Eb] old friends. _
_ You [Bb] and me, [Cm] we'll be [Ab] together again, [Fm] cause we both [Bb] know we'll still be old [Eb] friends.
_ [Gm] You [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Gm] can't make [Cm] old friends, [Ab] _ [Eb] but the way [Bb] we [Eb] always [Bb] did.
_ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I think when we did Idle in the Stream, we connected musically.
When we did You Can't Make Old Friends, we connected personally.
For me, it's not important that this is a hit song, but it's important historically to have it on tape.
Yeah, and that we got to do this song [B] that fits so many people, and certainly [C] fits us.
And this business, where so much of it is business, to have to take the time for a moment,
and just enjoy someone for the person they are, is a great gift, and I [Db] appreciate you're
always doing that with me.
It's been a wonderful journey.
I'm glad I got to walk that road with you, truly.
That of everybody in the business, she is my best friend.
Yay, I feel the same way. _ _ _ _ _ _
