Bobby Jean Acoustic chords by Bruce Springsteen

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Verse 1:
 C                      G
Well, I came by your house the other day
      Am                C
Your mother said you went away
        F                     C
She said there was nothing that I could have done
               G                          C
There was nothing nobody could say
     C                  G
Me and you, we've known each other
        Am                 C
Yeah, ever since we were sixteen
    F
I wished I would have known
    C
I wished I could have called you
        F     G                C
Just to say "Goodbye, Bobby Jean"

Verse 2:
 C                        G                 Am                        C
Now you hung with me when all the others turned away turned up their nose
 F
We liked the same music
      C
We liked the same bands
                    G             C
We liked the same clothes
 C                       G
We told each other that we were the wildest
     Am                      C
The wildest things we'd ever seen
       F
Now I wished you would have told me
   C
I wished I could have talked to you
     F          G             C
Just to say "Goodbye, Bobby Jean"

Bridge:
      F
Now we went walking in the rain
              C                        Am
Talking about the pain from the world we hid
       F
Now there ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow
       C                              G
Gonna ever understand me the way you did

Verse 3:
 C                                      G
Well maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere
         Am                      C
In some bus or train traveling along
         F                         C
In some motel room there'll be a radio playing
             G                    C
And you'll hear me sing this song
    C                            G
Well if you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you
   Am                    C
And all the miles in between
      F                   C                    Am
And I'm just calling one last time, not to change your mind
                   F                          G              C
But just to say "I miss you baby. Good luck. Goodbye, Bobby Jean"
