Goodbye, Mama, _ _ _ goodbye to you too, Pa _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [F#m] Little sister, _ you'll have to wait a while to come along
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ Goodbye to this house _ _ _ and all its memories
_ We _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ all just got too old to say we're wrong
[A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] I've got to make [C#m] one last trip [A] to my bedroom
I _ [C#m] guess I'll have to leave some [A] stuff behind _ _
_ [E] It's funny how the [C#m] same old _
[A] crooked pictures
_ _ _ _ [E]
Just don't look the [C#m] same to me [A] _ _
tonight
_ There _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
ain't no use in _ _ [E] shedding no more tears, Ma _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
[F#m] And there ain't no use _ in shouting at me, Pa
[A] I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Am] can't live [E] no longer _ with your fears, Ma _
I _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
love [F#m] you, but that hasn't helped at all _
[G#] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] All of us has got to do [A] _ what matters
And _ [E] each of [C#m] us must see _ [A] what we can see _ _ _
[E] Though it was long [C#m] ago, you [A] must remember
_ That _ [E] you were [C#m] once as young and [A] scared _ as me
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ Mama, I [E] don't know how hard it is yet _
When _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ you realize _ [F#m] you're growing old
[A] _ I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ know how hard it is now to _ be younger
And _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ [F#m] _ I know you tried to [F#] keep me from the [A] cold
And _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ thanks for [C#m] all you've done
It [A] may sound hollow _
_ _ [E] Thank you for [C#m] the good times [C#m] [A] that we've known
_ _ _ [G#m]
But I must have my own road [A] to follow
_ _ [E] You will all [C#m] be welcome _ [A] in my home _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] So I've got [E] my suitcase, _ _ _ I must go now
Mama, _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [F#m] I don't mind about the things you said
_ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ Sorry, Ma, _ I don't know where I'm going
And _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ remember, _ little sister, _ _ look [A] ahead _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Tomorrow [G#m] I'll be in some other [A] sunrise
_ _ _ _ [E] And maybe I'll have [C#m] someone [A] by my side _ _
_ _ [E] Mama, give your [C#m] love back to [A] your husband
_ _ _ _ _ [E]
Father, [C#m] you've taught me well
[A] _
Goodbye, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
