              INTRO:  C 
 
 
C 
Bobby's driving through the city tonight 
                                F 
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car 
C 
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine 
                            F 
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard 
 
 
 
Dm7 
Say goodbye to Hollywood 
G              Am 
Say goodbye my baby 
F 
Say goodbye to Hollywood 
Dm7            C 
Say goodbye my baby 
 
 
C 
Johnny's taking care of things for awhile 
                              F 
And his style is so right for troubadors 
C 
They got him sitting with his back to the door 
                            F 
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore

Cmaj7                     B        Em               C     G         D 
Moving on is a chance you take any time you try to stay together, Oh 
Cmaj7                          B             Em                  C 
Say a word out of line and you find that the friends you had are gone 
   G         Dm   G 
Forever...forev...er 
 
 
C 
So many faces in and out of my life 
                                  F 
Some will last, some will just be now and then 
C 
Life is a series of hellos and good-byes 
                             F 
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
