Were Going To Be Friends by The White Stripes - Guitar Chords

<< Back to The White Stripes Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

            Here's an idea of how to pick the chords:

           G            C             D             A           Cadd9
     |-----------| |-------0--| |----2------| |-----------| |-----------|
     |----0------| |---1------| |--------3--| |----2------| |----3------|
     |--------0--| |-----0----| |-----------| |--------2--| |--------0--|
     |-----------| |----------| |--0---0----| |--2--------| |------2----|
     |-----------| |-3--------| |-----------| |------0----| |--3--------|
     |--3---3----| |----------| |-----------| |-----------| |-----------|

(last G chord on 4th verse and picked the same way for the rest of song):
                                      G
                                |-----------|
                                |----3------|
                                |--------0--|
                                |-----------|
                                |-----------|
                                |--3---3----|

G


[Verse 1]

G
Fall is here, hear the yell
G
Back to school, ring the bell
C
Brand new shoes, walking blues
G
Climb the fence, books and pens
D               Cadd9           G
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
D               Cadd9           G
I can tell that we are gonna be friends


[Verse 2]

G
Walk with me, Suzy Lee
G
Throught the park and by the tree
C
We will rest upon the ground
G
And look at all the bugs we've found
D                   Cadd9       G
safely walk to school without a sound
D                   Cadd9       G
Safely walk to school without a sound


[Verse 3]

G
Well, here we are, no one else
G
We walked to school all by ourselves
C
There's dirt on our uniforms
G
From chasing all the ants and worms
D               Cadd9            G
We clean up and now it's time to learn
D               Cadd9            G  - put 3rd finger on 3rd fret, 2nd string
We clean up and now it's time to learn


[Verse 4]

G
Numbers, letters, learn to spell
G
Nouns and books and show and tell
C
At playtime we will throw the ball
G
Back to class, through the hall
D                 Cadd9              G
Teacher marks our height against the wall
D                 Cadd9             ( G ) 3rd finger on 3rd fret, 2nd string
Teacher marks our height against the wall       (for rest of song too)


[Bridge] (or whatever)

C                   G
We don't notice any time pass
C                  G
we don't notice anything
A
We sit side by side in every class
C
Teacher thinks that I sound funny,
D
But she likes the way you sing


[Verse 5]

G
Tonight I'll dream, while I'm in bed
G
When silly thoughts go through my head
C
About the bugs and alphabet
G
And when I wake tomorrow I bet
D                   Cadd9         G
That you and i will walk together again
D               Cadd9           G
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
D               Cadd9           G6
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
