Intro:

G C D /


 Well I'm singing this song, cause it's time it was sung
 G                                      C           G
 
 I've been putting it off for a while,
 G                              D

 Cause it's harder by now, and the truth is so clear
 G                    C            G           C

 That I am crying when I'm seeing you smile.
 G                         D          G

 So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
 G              C         G             C

 And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
 G                             D

 And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
 G                   C             G          C

 Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
 G                   D            G

 

 And every time that I tried to tell you that we'd 
 G                              C             G

 lost the magic we had at the start,
                              D

 I would weep my heart when I looked in your eyes
 G               C            G              C

 And I searched once again for the spark.
 G                   D             G

 So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
 G              C         G             C

 And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
 G                             D

 And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
 G                   C             G          C

 Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
 G                   D            G

 Oh you know that there's something calling me dear
 G                                  C          G

 and by morning, I'm sure to be gone
 G                              D

 For I'm older than you and you know so well
 G                  C           G       C

 That our time for to love was a song
 G                    D          G

 So goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
 G              C         G             C

 And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
 G                             D

 And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
 G                   C             G          C

 Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
 G                   D            G

 

 Now I can see by your eyes, it's time now to go
 G                                C           G

 So I'll leave you crying in the rain,
                                 D

 Though I held in my hand, the key to all joy
 G                   C         G          C

 Honey my heart was not born to be tamed.
 G                      D          G

 And goodbye, so long, the road calls me dear
 G               C         G             C

 And your tears cannot bind me anymore,
 G                             D

 And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes
 G                   C             G          C

 Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
 G                   D            G

 Can I kiss you, and then I'll be gone.
 G                   D            G
