My Friend - Oblivia 
Written by Tony Juke 
Tabbed by Luke R ([email protected]). 
 
Listen to the song for the timing etc. For tabbing out the intro the number 
of times I put in the chords to play isn't the exact number as you're 
probably aware. So just listen to timing. And do no get mixed up with the 
bass riff which plays a different last note. I will tab out the bass too. On 
the B7 chord the 7th note is played on the top string for this song. It's 
pretty simple song to play. Enjoy.

My Friend has been born again 
C#    B    A   B   C#    B    A    B 
Turned his back on his life

Got his sights on another one

Turn my head, roll my eyes,

Shrug my shoulders and then say goodbye

'Cause you're as individual

In one fashion or another

Tossed in his job, dumped his girl,

Said so long to his family 
C#    B    A   B   C#    B    A    B 
He says 'it's not my cup of tea'

Bite your tongue and watch life tick away

No one hears the voice and the messages inside his head 
 
Distorted sound again 
C#    B    A   B   C#    B    A    B 
They say there's no explanation

No one's ever known
