Tom : G
G D Cadd9 G
First time I saw him he was sweeter than s***.
G D Cadd9 G
Plaid jacket and belt too tight and he wasn't even doin' a bit.
G D Cadd9
Then he cartwheeled around the room, and slow-danced with the cleaning lady.
G Gmaj9 Em Cadd9 D G
He was a one man party. You know I'm talkin' about I'm talkin' about my friend Chris Farley.
[Verse 2]
G D Cadd9 G
On Saturday night my man would always deliver.
G D Cadd9 G
Whether he was the bumblebee girl or livin' in a van down by the river.
G D Cadd9
He loved the Bears and Ditka, danced at Chippendale's with Swayze.
G D Cadd9
When they replaced his coffee with Folgers he went f***in' crazy.
G D Cadd9
The sexiest Gap girl, and Meatloaf in the band.
G Gmaj9 Em
Without him there'd be no lunch lady in Lunch Lady Land.
Cadd9 D G
You know I'm thinkin' about I'm thinkin' about my boy Chris Farley.
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
G D Cadd9 G
After a show he'd drink a quart of Jack Daniels, and stick the bottle right up his a**.
G D Cadd9 G
But hung over as hell that catholic boy always showed up to morning mass.
Em D
We'd tell him, "Slow down you'll end up like Belushi or Candy".
G Gmaj9 Em
He said, "Those guys are my heroes, it's all fine and dandy."
Cadd9 D G
I ain't making that s*** up that's the truth about my boy Chris Farley.
G Gmaj9 Em
[Bridge]
Em Cadd9
I saw him in the office cryin' with his headphones on listenin' to a KC and the Sunshine Band
Em
song.
Cadd9
I said, "Buddy how the hell is that making you so sad?"
C D G
Then he laughed and said, "Just thinkin' about my dad."
[Verse 4]
G D Cadd9 G
The last big hang we had was a Timmy Meadow's wedding party.
G D Cadd9 G
We laughed our balls off all night long, all because of Farley
Cadd9 D G Gmaj9 Em
But a few months later the party came to an end. We flew out to Madison to bury our friend.
Cadd9 D G Gmaj9 Em
Nothing was harder than sayin' goodbye, except watchin' Chris' father have his turn to cry.
Cadd9 D G
hmmmmmm
[Verse 5]
G D Cadd9 G
Hey buddy lifes moved on now, but you still bring us so much joy.
G D Cadd9 G
Make my kids laugh with your YouTube clips, or Tommy Boy.
Cadd9 D G Gmaj9
Well, when they ask me who was the funniest guy I ever knew. I tell em' hands down without a
Em
doubt it's you.
Cadd9 D G Gmaj9
Yeah, I miss hangin' out watchin' you try to get laid, but most of all I miss watchin' you f***
Em
with Spade
Cadd9 D
Well, it ended how you wanted, but still wish you were here with me.
G Gmaj9 Em Cadd9 D
And we were gettin' on a plane to go shoot Grown Ups 3.
G Gmaj9 Em
Yeah, life ain't the same without you boy.
Cadd9 D G Gmaj9 Em
And that's why I'm singing about I'm singin' about my friend Chris Faaaaarley.
[Single strum on these]
Cadd9 D
And if we make enough noise maybe he'll hear us.
G G G G G G G G G G G G
Give it up for the great Chris Farley.
