[Intro]
C N.C.
[Verse 1]
N.C. C
Farewell, okay
G7
You’ll be on your way
Am
You’ll be on your own now
F7
But to my dismay
C7
I can’t go on
G
After what you’ve done
Am F
There are two words that sound like “pray”
Am F7
I’m not going to tell you which one I’m thinking of
F N.C. C F
Farewell, okay
C
Farewell, okay
[Verse 2]
G C
I thought you’d change
G
And get a little humble
Am C Am F
You strike your strange disposition like a drummer hits a cymbal
Am F
It rings on in the vicinity
Am F
From an instant thrill to infinity
Am F7
And that doesn’t seem like a sin to me
F N.C. C F7
Farewell, okay
C
Farewell, okay
[Bridge]
Am G Am
Well, I ran my hand in the rhythm along the ballroom wall
Am
Felt the rumble of the bass through the entrance hall
G
And the door flung open to a mascara cry
G
I can’t shake the sound of “How could you or why?”
Am
Can’t get the stain off my hands ever since
Am
From the fake marble pillar past a curtain of chintz
Am
A splatter of steps on a chalk floor pattern
G C E N.C.
A trim of black lace on a hem of red satin
[Verse 3]
N.C. C
Goodbye, so long
G
There’s no right or wrong
Am F
This might be the final word I chance in the very last dance
Am F
The appeal of the trumpet to a pearl of red laughter
Am F
Of lipstick and kisses right here under the rafter
Am
A fumble for Heaven in a thimble of draft
F
A seldom of Elvis in the velvet hereafter
N.C. C F
Farewell, okay
C F
Farewell, okay
C F
Farewell, okay, ooh
C F
Farewell, okay
[Outro]
E C
