Chris Farley Song

 G                           D
The first time I saw him he was 
   Cadd9        G
sweeter than honey
 G                           D    
Plaid jacket and belt too tight, 
         Cadd9      G
he wasn't even being funny
          Cadd9                    
Then he cartwheeled around the room
           D
 and slow-danced with the cleaning 
lady
G        G/F#     Em
He was a one man party
    Cadd9                      
You know I'm talkin' about, I'm 
   D                             G
talkin' about my friend Chris 
     Cadd9 G
Farley


[Verse 2]
        G              D         
On a Saturday Night my man would 
Cadd9     G
always deliver
  G                                
Whether he was the Bumblebee Girl 
   D          Cadd9            G
or livin' in a van down by the river
             Cadd9                 
He loved the Bears and Ditka, 
        D
danced at Chippendale's with Swayze
             G                     
When they replaced his coffee with 
 G/F#       Em
Folgers he went full-on crazy
     Cadd9                 D
The sexiest Gap Girl and Meatloaf in
 the band
    G                     G/F#    
Without him there'd be no Lunch 
        Em
Lady in Lunch Lady Land
    Cadd9                       
You know I'm thinkin' about, I'm 
   D                           G  
thinkin' about my boy Chris Farley
   Cadd9 G



[Verse 3]
         G                         
After a show he'd drink a quart of 
              D                    
Jack Daniels then stick the bottle 
Cadd9         G
right up his ass
       G                           
But hungover as hell that Catholic 
 D               Cadd9           G
boy always showed up to morning mass
               Cadd9               
We'd tell him "Slow down, you'll 
            D
end up like Belushi and Candy"
          G                 G/F#  
He said "Those guys are my heroes,
             Em
 that's all fine and dandy"
  Cadd9                            
I ain't making that stuff up, 
      D                         G 
that's the truth about my boy 
      G/F# Em
Chris Farley


[Verse 4]
  Em                               
I saw him in the office crying with
                Am
 his headphones on
Listening to a KC And The Sunshine 
      Em
Band song
I said "Buddy, how the hell is that 
              Am
makin' you so sad"
                     C        
Then he laughed and said "Just 
                    D    Dsus4 D 
thinkin' about my dad"
Dsus4 D



[Verse 5]
     G                    D   
The last big hang we had was at 
         Cadd9            G
Timmy Meadow's wedding party
     G                D      
We laughed all night long, all 
    Cadd9      G
because of Farley
      Cadd9                     
But a few months later the party 
  D
came to an end
    G           G/F#       Em
We flew out to Madison to bury our 
friend
 Cadd9                   D
Nothing was harder than sayin' 
goodbye
  G                      G/F#     
Except watching Chris's father 
       Em     Cadd9
have his turn to cry
 D     G
Hmmm Hmmm


[Verse 6]
 G                                 
Hey buddy, life's moved on but you 
  D            Cadd9    G
still bring us so much joy
         G                    D   
Make my kids laugh with your 
            Cadd9  G
YouTube clips or Tommy Boy
             Cadd9            
And when they ask me who's the 
                 D
funniest guy I ever knew
             G          G/F#  
I tell 'em hands down without a 
   Em
doubt it's you
        Cadd9                    
Yeah, I miss hanging out watching 
      D
you trying to get laid
     G                   G/F#     
But most of all I miss watching 
  Em
you toy with Spade
          Cadd9                    
You're a legend like you wanted but
          D
 I still wish you were here with me
    G               G/F#          
And we were getting on a plane to 
Em        Cadd9
go shoot Grown Ups 3
 D                    G     G/F# 
Yeah, life ain't the same without
     Em
 you boy
    Cadd9                        
And that's why I'm singin' about, 
      D                          
I'm singin' about my friend Chris 
   G G/F# Em
Faaaaaaaarley
          Cadd9                    
And if we make enough noise, maybe 
       D
he'll hear us
N.C.                                
   G
Give it up for the great Chris
