_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] Now the [F] autumn [Bb] leaves are falling
[Eb] And the [F] tourists have [Bb] all gone
_ [Eb] And the children, they [Bb] have all gone back [F] to school _
_ _ _ [Bb] And my life [F] is [Bb] as it was before
[Eb] I work [F] eight [Bb] hours a day
[Eb] But the [C] company's [Bb] still making all the [F] rules _
_ _ _ [Eb] There's a [F] girl in [Bb] Massachusetts
_ _ [Eb] South of [F] Boston town, she [Bb] said
_ [Eb] And her lovely [C] face [Bb] is with me [F] all the _ day
_ Sure [Bb] I bought her a down and old trolley
[Eb] Golden [F] hair upon [Gm] her head
[Bb] And I took her heart [F] and she stole [Bb] mine away
_ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] Goodbye [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
_ _ [F] Farewell my [Bb] Boston Rose
[Eb] I'll wait for you, [Bb]
I'll think of you
[Cm] I'm not a threat to you, [F] I'll _ pose
[Bb] Goodbye my Boston beauty
_ _ [Eb] _ [F] Farewell my [Gm] Boston Rose
[Eb] I wish that you [Bb] were here
But I [F] know that's the way [Bb] life goes
_ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] There's a song [F] we sang [Bb] all summer
_ [Eb] In the [F] bars of [Bb] Dublin town
_ [Eb] I can hear it on [Bb] the factory [F] radio
_ _ And _ _ [Bb] the [F] feelings I [Bb] remember
When [Eb] I hear [F] that simple [Bb] tune
Makes [Eb] me wonder [Bb] if it really happens [F]
so
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] But we [F] laughed and laughed [Bb] together
_ [Eb] Till the summer [F] days [Bb] were gone
And [Eb] she had to fly [Bb] across the ocean [F] _
wide
_ _ So [Bb] _
farewell [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
_ [Eb] Until we [Gm] meet again
[Eb] _ [Bb] And I'll keep the [F] fire burning [Bb] deep inside
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb]
Goodbye [F] my [Bb] Boston beauty
_ [Eb] _
[F] Farewell my [Bb] Boston Rose
_ [Eb] I'll wait for you, [Bb] I'll think of you
[Cm] I'm not a threat to you, [F] I'll pose
_ [Bb]
Goodbye [G] my [Bb] Boston beauty
_ _ [Eb]
Farewell [F] my [Gm] Boston Rose
_ [Eb] I wish that you [Bb] were here
But I [F] know that's the way [Bb] life goes _ Sadness
[F] _ _ [Bb] Some [F] nights when [Bb] I'm drinking
And [Eb] my [F] friends have [Bb] gathered round
_ [Eb] Well just for fun
[Bb]
Someone brings a [F] grenade _ _
_ _ [Bb] Well I smile [F] there
[Bb] With the rest of them
But I [F] can't [Bb] hear a sound
I [Eb] love you, [Bb] but to them
It's all [F] the _ _ same
_ [Eb] And [Dm] nights when [Bb] I'm alone, my love
[Eb] You come [F] into [Bb]
my mind
[Eb] And visions flash [Bb] upon that [F] inward _ _ eye
_ _ [Bb] Well I watch [F] the [Bb] moon up above
[Eb] And I [F] leave the sad [Gm]
behind
[Eb] _ [Bb] And I call to you [F] as I go [Bb] sailing _ by
[F] _
_ _ [Bb] Goodbye [C] my [Bb] Boston beauty
_ _ [Eb] Farewell [F] my [Bb] Boston Rose
[Eb] I'll wait for you, [Bb] I'll think of you
[Cm] Not a threat to you, [F] I'll pose
[Bb] Goodbye [C] my [Bb] Boston beauty
_ _ [Eb] Farewell [F] my Boston [Gm]
Rose
_ [Eb] I wish that [Bb] you were here
But I [F] know that's the [Gm] way life goes
[Eb] I wish that you were [Bb]
here
So [F] farewell my _ [Bb] Boston Rose _ _ _ _ _
