                      A       E 
The greatest friend I have in life 
                       A 
Has brought me here to dwell 
                  E 
Awhile among your green, green hills 
                  A 
And by the watery well 
                    E 
The water from that wondrous well 
                    A 
Has made my eyes to see 
                        E 
And loosed my tongue to sing with joy 
            B7         E 
That such a friend can be 

( A  E  B7  E ) 

                      A       E 
The greatest friend I have in life 
                     A 
Was hidden long from me 
                    E 
Above the mountains cold and wide 
                   A 
Beneath the sacred tree 
                       E 
That sacred tree whose bark I touched 
                         A 
Whose leaves did tell to me 
                       E 
The ancient tales that made me sure 
                B7      E 
My friend would come to me 

( A  E  B7  E ) 

                     A        E 
My greatest friend a song has given 
                    A 
To sing where I may go 
                  E 
To sing among the green, green hills 
                     A 
And where the waters flow 
                     E 
The waters from that wondrous well 
                     A 
That made my eyes to see 
                    E 
And made my mind to ever show 
            B7        E 
My greatest friend to me 

( A  E  B7  E )
