Farewell [Bbm] old Hudson [Eb] River
_ [Ab] Here comes [Fm] the sea _ And _ [Ab]

_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ [Eb]
Two steamer trunks in the [Ab] carriage _ _ Safe arrival we cabled [Ab] back home

_ _ _ _ [Eb] Love is the greatest _ _ [Ab]
deceiver _ _ [Eb] It hollows you out like a drum
[Ab] _ And _ [Bb] _
suddenly nothing [Eb] is certain _ [Ab] As _ [Bb] if all the clouds closed [F] the curtains and [Eb] blocked the sun

wasn't for fame or [Eb] for money [Ab] It was [Fm] for love
_ [C] Now [Ab] my copper hair [Eb] is gray As [Dm] the stones on [Cm] the quay [Ab] In the city [Bb] where magic [Eb] was
