Song: Goodbye Friend Artist: Bowling For Soup Album: My Wena EP Year: 2009 This is a great song... it's one of the serious BFS songs... By which I mean seriously good... which of course is expected... But yeah here's my take on the song... you know since there wasn't another tab of it on here... so yeah... enjoy... (By the by I'm going to put the chords with lyrics after the tab) Verse: (To save space I only put half of the times each chord is played so play each one twice in the verse or just listen to the song for the rhythm...) e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
