Bye Bye Love chords by Simon & Garfunkel

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Song title: Bye Bye Love
Performed by: Simon and Garfunkel
Album: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Chords interpreted by: Hans Julian Sloman


The song seems to be using only the chords B, F#F# and C#C# (and E5E5 in the intro);
however there are multiple ways of creating those sounds.
Another version available on here tells you to play
A, E, and B, (and D5D5) while using a capo in 2nd fret.
However getting from E MajorE to BB can be awkward for beginners,
so here's a version that I came up with that might make it
easier for you, while still being able to play along with the song
(e.g. not in a different key):

Capo 7th fret

INTRO: C majorC

[CHORUS]
C majorC
Bye bye, love.

C majorC
Bye bye, happiness.

C majorC
Hello, loneliness.

C majorC
I think I'm gonna cry.

C majorC
Bye bye, love.

C majorC
Bye bye, sweet caress.

C majorC
Hello, emptiness.

C majorC
I feel like I could die.

C majorC
Bye bye, my love, goodbye.

[VERSE 1]

G+G
There goes my baby
C majorC
With someone new.

G+G
She sure looks happy;

C majorC
I sure am blue.

FF
She was my baby

G+G
'till he stepped in.

G+G
Goodbye, to romance

C majorC
That might have been.

(CHORUS)

[VERSE 2]

G+G
I'm through with romance.

C majorC
I'm through with love.

G+G
I'm through with counting

C majorC
The stars above,

FF
And here's the reason

G+G
That I'm so free:

G+G
My lovin' baby

C majorC
Is through with me.

(CHORUS)

(repeat and fade) Goodbye, my love goodbye.­





(some more notes:
-7th fret is quite far up for a capo, so it only works on good acoustics or
electric guitars
-play A5A5 simply like a normal A augmentedA except you only hit the A, D MajorD and G+G string/or
you can mute the BB string.
-If you don't care for playing/singing along with the record, there are lots
of easy variations available (e.g. Transposing, with change of key).
For example you could play C, G, and D; or D, A, and E; or you can play the
