Intro:


A  F#m  D  E

Verse 1:

A                 F#m                             D
Goodbye Pluto, so long to your tradition and your solo life’s ambition
        E
of just whirling ‘round the Sun.
A                    F#m                                     D
Goodbye Pluto, being number nine was nice till you lost your planetary status
           E
now you’re simply rock and ice.
A                                         F#m                     D
There are eight that spin before you they use up all the rays the Sun gives
                   E
to her children to turn the night to day.
A                           F#m                       D
So goodbye Pluto, though it doesn’t seem quite fair.  3 thousand million
               E
miles away and God just needs you there.

Chorus:

      D       A     E             F#m              G
And I think I understand when the spin gets out of hand
          D          A       C#m        A
Sometimes all that’s left is how to say “goodbye”.

(A)    F#m     D      E

Verse 2:

A                      F#m                          D
Goodbye Pluto, all the spinning you will do ahh but both of us know better
            E
that you’re orbiting me too.
A                                 F#m                  D
Never mind them, Pluto.  With one roll around the sun 250 years go by
E
when that year is done
A                               F#m                           D
By that time, Pluto, they’ll be dead and gone to dust, taking their
                           E
equations with them, their opinions gone to rust.

Chorus:

      D       A     E             F#m              G
And I think I understand when the spin gets out of hand
          D          A       C#m        A
Sometimes all that’s left is how to say “goodbye”.

(A)    F#m     D      E
 
Verse 3:

A                          F#m                             D
Goodbye, old me.  You were useful while you lasted now I’m dropping off that
                E
basket that put springtime out of reach.
A                                F#m
Farewell you old familiar as you track your way through space
      D                               E
There comes a time when all of us are done, get replaced.
A                           F#m                     D
So goodbye Pluto, you’ll be salty for a while but a couple trips around
            E
old Sol and you’ll be back in style.

Outro:

      D       A     E             F#m              G
And I think I understand when the spin gets out of hand
          D          A       C#m        A
Sometimes all that’s left is how to say “goodbye”.
          D          A       C#m        A
Sometimes all that’s left is how to say “goodbye”.
