Why Can't We Be Friends?
Capo on the 1st fret if you want to play along with the 8-track tape.
Notice that the E and the Esus4 are switched around in the verse and
chorus. Also, notice that halfway through the song the chorus uses
the same chords as the verse until the end of the song. You might
want to play the intro chords on the 12th fret. Bass notes are in
parenthesis ( ).
(Capo 1st fret)
