Verse 1 chords:
C           Csus4      C             Csus4
Back when I        was not that old
       C                                      Csus4
For I had me a love before playing in a band
C           Csus4      C         Csus4
At the tent        and underage
        C
Now I’m old as a drink but the best things to get drunk
                               Dm               F
You’re all in the world that I ha-a-a-a-a-a-a-d
                       C
Just me and my unusual friends


Verse 2 chords:
C             Csus4          C          Csus4
Playing songs         to the magic box
       C                                                         Csus4
To the holes in the old rotten roof sounds of curl-eyed morning
C              Csus4       C               Csus4
Back when you,       substitute for girls
   C
So I get more food and the passer of the time
                          Dm                  F
In the aching dehydrated dou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ough
                          C
With my bruised up hollow men
                      Dm             F
Yeah I hold you in my ha-a-a-a-a-and
                            G        F G  F G  F G  G# A#
Yeah I’m missing my unusual friends


SOLO: [C – Csus4 – C – Csus4] x2, then
      [Dm – F] x1, then
      [C – Csus4 – C – Csus4] x1


Verse 3: use verse 1 chords
You and her, you stuck around 
We’ll a were all night used to give my room and kill me
There’s a flood on my lungs on the bre-e-e-e-eeze
I’m missing my unusual friends
You were all in the world that I had
My sweet unusual friends


Outro:
C         Csus4  C
My sweet unusual friends
              Csus4    C
Well my sweet unusual friends
