Best Friend Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[INTRO]
[E]Hmm an old man on his death bed once sa[A]id to me
You are the [E]master of your des[A]tiny

[CHORUS]
A di[D]amond is a diamond and a st[A]one is a stone
But a m[E]an's not all good nor a[A]ll bad
When the c[E]hips're all down and your b[A]ack's at the wall
You're the b[E]est friend that you've ever [Am]had
You're the b[E]est friend that you've ever [Am]had

[VERSE]
So you laugh when it's ti[D]me to laugh and you c[E]ry when it's time to [Am]cry
Live while it's ti[D]me to live cause you'll d[E]ie when it's time to die [Am]hmm
[E]Then he closed his eyes and he l[A]eft me alone
This old m[E]an's wisdom brought his meaning h[A]ome

[CHORUS]
A di[D]amond is a diamond and a st[A]one is a stone
But a m[E]an's not all good nor a[A]ll bad
When the c[E]hips're all down and your b[A]ack's at the wall
You're the b[E]est friend that you've ever [Am]had
You're the b[E]est friend that you've ever [Am]had

[VERSE]
So you laugh when it's ti[D]me to laugh and you c[E]ry when it's time to [Am]cry
Live while it's ti[D]me to live cause you'll d[E]ie when it's time to die [Am]hmm
W[E]ell now that I'm older I found t[A]his is true
The thing that re[E]mains is the good that you [A]do

[CHORUS]
A di[D]amond is a diamond and a st[A]one is a stone
But a m[E]an's not all good nor a[A]ll bad
When the c[E]hips're all down and your b[A]ack's at the wall
You're the b[E]est friend that you've ever [Am]had
You're the b[E]est friend that you've ever [Am]had
