Intro: G  C  G  D  G  D 
 
verse 1 
 
G                         C               G 
I'm singing this song its time it was sung 
                              D 
I been putting it off for a while 
          G        C              G           C 
But its harder by now cause the truth is so clear  
        G            D           G     D 
that I cry when I'm seeing you smile 
 
       G       C        G             C 
So goodbye so long the road calls me dear  
          G                       D 
And your tears cannot bind me anymore  
         G           C             G          C 
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes 
       G            D            G       D 
And I kiss you and then I'll be gone  
 
verse 2 
 
G                         C             G 
Everytime that I try to tell you that we've  
                                    D 
lost the magic that we had at the start  
         G        C            G           C 
I would weep my heart when I look in your eyes  
         G          D             G       D 
And I search once again for the spark 
 
       G       C        G             C 
So goodbye so long the road calls me dear  
          G                       D 
And your tears cannot bind me anymore  
         G           C             G          C 
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes 
       G            D            G       D 
And I kiss you and then I'll be gone 
 
verse 3 
 
G                       C              G 
I can see by your eyes its time now to go  
                                 D 
so I'll leave you to cry in the rain  
            G        C        G          C 
though I held in my hand the key to all joy  
               G            D           G       D 
but honey my heart was not born to be tamed 
 
       G       C        G             C 
So goodbye so long the road calls me dear  
          G                       D 
And your tears cannot bind me anymore  
         G           C             G          C 
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes 
       G            D            G       D 
And I kiss you and then I'll be gone 
 
       G       C        G             C 
So goodbye so long the road calls me dear  
          G                       D 
And your tears cannot bind me anymore  
         G           C             G          C 
And farewell to the girl with the sun in her eyes 
       G            D            G       D 
And I kiss you and then I'll be gone 
 
Outro 
 
       G            D            G       D 
And I kiss you and then I'll be gone 
       G            D            G 
And I kiss you and then I'll be gone
