[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D7     G
  I' m singing this song,
     C               G
it's time it was sung
                                    D
I've been putting it off for a while
            G      C
But it's harder by now,
           G                C
'cause the truth is so clear
       G            D               G
That I cry when I'm seeing you smile

[Chorus]
D7       G       C         G
  So goodbye, so long, the road calls me,
    C
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
Can I kiss you? And then I'll be gone

[Verse 2]
D7      G                    C                 G
  Every time that I tried to tell you that we'd
                                  D
Lost the magic we had at the start
        G          C            G                  C
I would weep in my heart when I looked in your eyes
        G                D             G
And I'd search once again for the spark

[Chorus]
D7       G       C         G
  So goodbye, so long, the road calls me,
    C
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 D7
Can I kiss you? And then I'll be gone

[Verse 3]
D7      G
  I can see by your eyes,
     C             G
it's time now to go
                                    D
So I'll leave you to cry in the rain
         G          C
Though I held in my hand,
    G          C
the key to all joy
But honey,
   G                 D      G
my heart was not born to be tamed

[Chorus]
D7       G       C         G
  So goodbye, so long, the road calls me,
    C
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             D7               G
Can I kiss you? And then I'll be gone
D7       G       C         G
  So goodbye, so long, the road calls me,
    C
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             D7               G
Can I kiss you? And then I'll be gone

[Outro]
      G             D7               G
Can I kiss you? And then I'll be gone
D      G             D7               G
 Can I kiss you? And then I'll be gone
