TITLE: Goodbye Stranger
Lyrics and Chords


[ G+ = xx1003 ]

It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on

/ G A7 - / CaddG - G - - - / :

   Like a king without a castle
   Like a queen without a throne
   I'm an early morning lover
   And I must be moving on

   / G/F# - / Em - / C - / Am - /

Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth

   Like a ship without an anchor
   Like a slave without a chain
   Just the thought of those sweet ladies
   Sends a shiver through my veins

   {Bridge}
   And I will go on shining
   Shining like brand new
   I'll never look behind me
   My troubles will be few

   / G - / G+ - / " / " / 

{Refrain}
Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Come tomorrow, feel no pain
Now sweet devotion is not for me
    Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Just give me motion to set me free
    Will we ever meet again
In the land and the ocean far away
    Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
It's the life I've chosen, every day
    Come tomorrow, feel no pain

/ G - G+ - / Em - Am D / G - G+ - / C - Am D / :

So, goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane
    Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
    Will we ever meet again

/ G - G+ - / Em - A7 - /

Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
For some it's just as well

   You can laugh at my behavior
   That'll never bother me
   Say the Devil is my savior
   But I don't pay no heed

   {Bridge}

{Refrain}

So, now I'm leavin', got to go
    Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Hit the road, I'll say it once again
    Will we ever meet again
Oh, yes, I'm leaving, I've got to go
    Feel no sorrow, feel no shame
Got to go, I'm sorry I have to tell you
    Come tomorrow, feel no pain

Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane
    Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again
    Will we ever meet again
