G                                                D 
Old friend, it's been so long, and it's been so real 
Em       Am                      C       D 
And if I helped you once it was no big deal 
G                                            B 
Too bad I can't be there when they call your name 
Em                Am                    F#      B 
They're going to write you down in the hall of fame 

Am                                         
You really got what you wanted, I'm thrilled as pie 
B                                        Am 
It really couldn't happen to a nicer guy 

Em                 Am  Em  Am 
Put it there pal, put it there 
G         G/Gb       Em        C  
Now and then just throw me a crumb 
Em                Am Em   Am 
Put it there pal, put it there 
C            G/Gb         Em           C     
Thanks for the help when I needed it, chum 

D                                                Am  
You saw me drowning, you said I was a fake and laughed 
D                                          Am9/G# 
Then you jumped right in and used me for a raft 
Em            Am          Em    Am 
You shot me down with friendly fire 
Em                   Am          Em   Am 
You were all dressed up to play Gun For Hire 
Em             Am          Em              Am 
The rope you threw me was made of barbed wire 
C                            D        Bm   
But put it there pal, put it there, pal 
Em 
Put it there 

G                                            D 
I know you mean well, call me a sentimental fool 
Em      Am                        C            D 
I know sometimes you've got to be kind to be cruel 
G                                               B 
When you pat me on the back, that was quite some slap 
Em            Am                  F#      B 
That kind of compliment, it could kill a chap 
Am                                                          B  
So I'll drink your health, oh this emotion's given me a thirst 
Am                                          B 
But maybe I'll have my food-taster drink it first 

Em                 Am Em Am 
Put it there pal, put it there 
G             Em                 C 
You deserve everything you got coming 
Em                Am  Em  Am 
Put it there pal, put it there 
G                  Em           C 
Call me up if you want to come slumming 

D                                    Am 
Some say you're a rattlesnake in the grass 
D                                    Am9/G# 
But I say the sun shines out of your arse 

Em              Am         Em          Am 
So it's no hard feelings, live and let live 
      Em          Am       Em          Am  
With a gift like yours, you're born to give 
 Em               Am          Em           Am 
You're so full of love it leaks out like a sieve 
   C                         D      Bm 
So put it there pal, put it there, pal 
Em 
Put it there 
Put it there 
Put it there 
Put it there, pal 
Put it there, pal 
Put it there, pal
