1 2 3 Goodbye chords by Elvis Perkins

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
            D
1, 2, 3 goodbye

I love you more in death
                         A
Than I ever could in life
              D
1, 2, 3 all sigh

When the dollar is young
                   A
And the year is new
                     E
Me and the full wolf moon
          D  A
Will be over you
               D
Unto the nighttime

I dream for you
                           A
12 sparrows pretty in a row
           D
1 and 23 eyes open

To the risen scarecrow
                        A
With his mind full blown
                         E
Down those hay-lined roads
            D     A
To his farmer's throne


Chorus:
         D           A
It was happy, 1, 2, 3
         E         A
It was sad, 1, 2, 3
           D                A
We were happy once you and me
              E
When we were sad


Verse 2:
A             D
Once upon a time

We were happy in the bathtub
                        A
In the abacus of the rain
               D
Once upon a time

We take our laughter to the blackboard
                       A
With a calculus of pain
                                    E
And with good news from the weather vein
                 D      A
We'll go our separate ways


 Chorus:
          D          A
It was happy, 1, 2, 3
         E         A
It was sad, 1, 2, 3
           D                A
We were happy once you and me
              E
When we were sad
A               D
Once in a lifetime

When the dollar is young
                   A
And the year is new
              D
Once in a lifetime

Will the undoing of two souls
                A
Be so easy to do
                 E
Like it was for me
         D       A
Like it was for you
          D          A
It was happy, 1, 2, 3
         E         A
It was sad, 1, 2, 3
           D                 A
We were happy once you and me
              E
When we were sad
A           D        A
1, 2, 3 goodbye, goodbye
            D        A
1, 2, 3 goodbye, goodbye
                   D        A
Ready, 1, 2, 3 goodbye, goodbye
                    D        A
Steady, 1, 2, 3 goodbye, goodbye
                        D        A
Nice to know you, 3 goodbye, goodbye
                             D        A
It's nice to meet you, 3 goodbye, goodbye
                           D   A
Are you ready, 1, 2, 3 goodbye
