[Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ See long down the line, about _ _ half a mile or so,
and I _ don't really want to know [Db] _ _ where you're going.
_ _ _ _ Maybe once or twice, [Ebm] you see, _ time after time I try to
_ [Eb] hold [Ebm] on to what we [Bbm] got, [Db] but _ now you're going. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ And I [Ab] don't _ mind about the things you're [Bbm] going to say, [Abm] Lord.
_ [Gb] _ _ I gave all [Ab] my money and [Db] my time.
[Bbm] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _ _
I know it's a [Ab] shame, _ [Db] but I'm giving you [Bbm] back your _ name.
Yeah, _
_ [Ab] _ [Gb] yeah, _ _ _ _ yeah.
_ Guess [Db] I'll be on [Ebm] my way.
_ _ I [Db] won't be back [Ebm] to stay.
_ [Gb] _ I guess I'll [Ebm] move along, time [Db] will do a good [Ab] _ _ _ time. _ _ _
[Db] Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] oh.
_ _ See long down the [Fm] line, ain't it [Eb] _ [Ebm] funny how the time can go on?
_ Men say they told me so, [Db] but it _ doesn't [Bbm] matter.
_ [Db] _ _ _
It was plain to [Eb] see that a [Ebm] small-town boy [Bb] like me
just _ [Eb] _
[Ebm] wasn't your cup of tea.
I was _
_ [Db] wishful thinking. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
I gave [Ab] you my heart, [Db] and I tried to [Bbm] make you happy,
_ [Abm] _ _
[Gb] _ and you [Ab] gave me nothing _ [Db] in return.
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Ab] You know [Gb] it ain't so [Ab] hard to say, but [Db] would you please just [Bbm] go _ away?
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I've [Db] thrown away [Gb] the blues, _ _ _ tired of [Ebm] being _ used.
I want [Db] everyone [Ebm] to know, time will [Db] do us for a _ [Ab] good _ time. _
[B] _ Good _ [Gb] time, _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] yeah.

_ _ [Gb] _ I gave you [Ab] my heart, [Db] and I tried to [Bbm] make you happy,
[Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ and you gave [Ab] me nothing [Db] in _ [Fm] return.
[Bbm] _ _
_ [Abm] You know [Gb] it ain't so [Ab] hard to say, [Db] but would you please just [Bbm] go _ _ away?
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I've got [Db] nothing [Ebm] else to lose, _ I'm [Db] tired of [Ebm] being used.
[Bbm] _
[Gb] I want everyone [Ebm] to know, I'm looking [Db] for a _ [Ab] good time. _
_ _ [B] Good _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ time. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
