I believe they may be looking for the chords to this one instead...

Friend
(written by Aaron Lindsey; Israel Houghton; Kevin Singleton; Meleasa Houghton)
(recorded by Israel & New Breed)


Chorus:
Friend, there will never be a friend
as dear to me as You,
there will never be another
closer than a brother.

Friend, always worth the wait,
as faithful as the day,
You say we are friends.

Oh, oh, oh.

Verse:
You know all about me,
the good and the bad,
You know when I rise and fall.

You see my beginning,
You stand at the end,
and yet You remain faithful to say, I'm Your...

Chorus

Verse

Chorus

Vamp:
Every time You call me,
I receive Your healing,
every time You call me friend.

Ending:
Friend, there will never be a friend
as dear to me as You,
there will never be another
closer than a brother.

Friend, always worth the wait,
as faithful as the day,

You say...
(repeat as desired)

You say we are friends.

I think this might be it

I think that the song is sung to high so I usually do it in Eb or Db but I'll post it in the key of E(off of album).

LH/RH

  E/E-Ab-B          Friend, there will never

Ab/Ab-B-E         Be a
 
A/A-Db-E          friend, as good to
 
B/B-Eb-Gb         me as

Db/Db-E-Ab      you, there will never

Ab/Ab-B-E        be a-

A/A-Db-E         -nother

B/B-Eb-Gb         closer than a brother

Repeat this chord pattern for the second part of that verse.(always worth the wait, faithful as the day)
These are also the same chords for the second part that goes "you know all about me, the good and the bad....." you just have to figure out which chords fit where. But these are the same ones though.

Now, the part that goes "and yet you remain, faithful to say..." I would simply play this:

C/C-E-G    and yet you remaiiiin

D/D-Gb-A  (fill in)

C/C-E-G        faithful to sa-

D/D-Gb-A      -aaaaaay Im your

E/E-Ab-B       friend

then continue on with the first set of chords.

Last Part:

 E/E-Ab-B        everytime you

Eb/Eb-Ab-B     call

 D/Db-Ab-b     I receive your

 A/A-Db-E       healing

C/C-E-G         everytime you

D-D-Gb-A       call me

E/E-Ab-B       friend.

this is a really basic version of the song. feel free to jazz it up as you wish 
 ;)
