All Of My Friends Were There
Written by: Ray Davies
Doggie Paddle Vamp: Intro F

F                                        Bb                
My big day, it was the biggest day of my life.
Gm                   F                                   
It was the summit of my long career,
F                         Bb                              
But I felt so down, and I drank too much beer,
       Gm                  Bb                             
And my manager said that I should not appear.

F                                          Bb             
I walked out onto the stage and started to speak.
    Gm                            F                      
The first night I've missed for a couple of years,
  Gm                               Bb                    
I explained to the crowed and they started to jeer,
   F                      Bb                               
And just when I wanted no one to be there,

F7                     Bb  Bb/A Gm                                   
All of my friends were there.
Gm/F                     Eb                 Eb/D Cm7 Cm7/Bb 
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
A         A7/G         D7/F#    G         C7                        
All of my friends were there to stand and stare,

C7                 F7                            Bb   Bb/A Gm           
Say what they may, all of their friends need not stare.
Gm/F                       Eb          Eb/D  Cm7 Cm7/Bb 
Those who laughed were not friends anyway.
A7        A7/G         D7/F#    G         C7                          
All of my friends were there to stand and stare.
                                                        

F                                             Bb           
Days went by, I walked around dressed in a disguise.
Gm                      F                                 
I wore a mustache and I parted my hair,
F                              Bb                          
And gave the impression that I did not care,
Gm                             Bb                          
But oh, the embarrassment, oh, the dispair.

F                                             Bb           
Came the day, help with a few last glasses of gin,
Gm                       F                                
I nervously mounted the stage once again,
F                              Bb                          
Got through my performance and no one complained,
Gm                         F                              
Thank God I can go back to normal again.


F7                 Bb   Bb/A Gm                                      
I went to that old cafe,
Gm/F                     Eb      Eb/D  Cm7 Cm7/Bb                        
Where I had been in much happier days,
    A         A/G          D7/F#                                
And all of my friends were there,
    G       C7                                             
And no one cared.

C7                  F7                     Bb  Bb/A Gm                 
Say what they may, all of my friends were there.
Gm/F                     Eb                 Eb/D Cm7 Cm7/Bb 
Not just my friends, but their best friends too.
A          A/G         D/F#                                     
All of my friends were there,
  G           C7                                           
Now I don't care.

Date: July 26, 1999 5:28 PM From: Jonathan Longstaff The chords for All of My Friends Were There should be moved up half a step. I just play what you've got written, only with the capo on the first fret. It makes the chorus bit a whole lot easier to play, too! Don't You Fret also sounds better with the capo on the first fret, as does Harry Rag.
