              A7+ 
Finders keepers losers weep 
C#m 
Down on Forty-Second Street 
F#m 
Bare-foot children cryin', my-oh-my 
A 
I watched you on the avenue 
C#m 
While other men were having you 
F#m 
I think that you should let your caged bird fly 
 
                    A           D 
And kiss your past goodbye 
                    G           F 
Kiss your past goodbye 
                    A           D 
Kiss your past goodbye

Kiss your past goodbye          yeah yeah yeah 
 
A 
I've been so lost I must confess 
C#m 
I've had my share of loneliness 
F#m 
But yeah it's hard to keep a good man down 
A 
The loves you lost were all in vain 
C#m 
The past lives on inside your brain 
F#m 
I don't think you need those memories Hangin' 'round, yeah

Good-bye

And if that bird don't fly away 
G 
There's just one thing I got to say 
A7+ 
It's later than a deuce a ticks 
C#m 
Your broken heart, it needs a fix 
F#m 
You're feedin' off a high that would not last 
A 
And people they don't seem to care

And sorry just don't cut it, yeah

It seems to me you're gettin' nowhere fast

So kiss your past good-bye 
                       A           D
