[Dm]
[D]
I give my [G] love a candle, [Bm] [D] a [A] promise and [D] a [G] light
[D] [G] And I told [Dm] him when [A] my number comes [D] up
Winds would [F#m] fill [E] the [Bm] sky
[G] Me [A] I'm fixin' [D] to die
[G] Movin' down [D] that same lonesome road
No [A] I don't [Bm] know why
[G] Goodbye, [A] goodbye, [D] goodbye
You [G] didn't have to fool me
[A] You [D] didn't have to lie
[G] My love comes [D] around like a thief in the night
But only [A] love can make [Bm] you cry
And [G] we have walked [Am] side by [D] side
[G] Movin' down [A] that same lonesome [D] road
No [A] I don't [Bm] know why
[D]
[G] Goodbye, [A] goodbye, [D] goodbye
[C#]
[D] [G] Your love was [A] like a diamond right [D] away
From a [A] sea that calms [Bm] my [D] mind
[G] Movin' [A] onward to a distant shore
[D] Without [A] both [Bm] sailin' in a line
[G] We have [A] danced to a [D] fateful rhyme
[G] Movin' down [A] that same lonesome [D] road
No I [A] [Bm] don't know why
[D] [G] Goodbye, [A]
[D] goodbye, goodbye
[A] You [D] [G]
[F#m] [A] [D]
[G] [D]
[A] [D] [A] [Bm]
[G] [D] [A] [D]
[G] didn't have to fool me
[F#m] You [G] didn't [D] have to lie
[G]
My love came [A] out so [D] ugly
It's only my love [A] that could make you [Bm] cry
[D] And [G] we have walked [A] side by [D] side
[G] Movin' down [D] that [A] same [G] lonesome road
And [D] I [A] still don't [Bm] know why
[D]
[G] Goodbye, [A] goodbye, [D] goodbye
[C] Goodbye, [Am] [D] goodbye, goodbye
[G] [Am] [D] Goodbye,
[G] [A] goodbye,
[D] goodbye
