Chords for Tom Paxton - I Miss My Friends Tonight

entire existence it never allowed they never allowed a jukebox to darken its
_ door which was great because the _ all the music was provided by the patrons _ _ and so

all framed _ covers of books written by the patrons I don't know when they got
time to do that but they [D] did.

are no longer with us and I [Dm] miss them very much.
