[Intro]

D MajorD  A augmentedA  E MajorE


[Verse 1]

A augmentedA         D MajorD
Fare thee well my brother
        E MajorE
please don't stand in my way
A augmentedA            E MajorE
I'm going down to that dirty town
A augmentedA          E MajorE
no matter what you say
A augmentedA            D MajorD
You fooled me and you ruled me
     A augmentedA       E MajorE
and you played in every part
D MajorD        E MajorE           A augmentedA
I gotta go,.... it's no use me stayin' home

[Verse 2]

A augmentedA      D MajorD
Goodbye my sister
       E MajorE
please don't let me see you cry
A augmentedA      E MajorE
Gonna be a star some day
A augmentedA          E MajorE
no matter what they say
A augmentedA            D MajorD
And when you hear the crowds
          A augmentedA       E MajorE
all callin' and shouting out my name
D MajorD            E MajorE        A augmentedA
until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied


[Verse 3]

A augmentedA         D MajorD
So long sweet Melinda
    E MajorE
don't forget that you're my girl
     A augmentedA
Gonna dress you fine
       E MajorE
and if you give me time
      A augmentedA          E MajorE
make you proud like I said I would
       A augmentedA          D MajorD
And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy
    A augmentedA              E MajorE
If I find the world looks like it should
D MajorD                A augmentedA
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars
        E MajorE
then I could stay a while

[Chorus 1]

D MajorD      A augmentedA
Well I love you
D MajorD               E MajorE    A augmentedA
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
D MajorD     A augmentedA    E MajorE
and I'll miss you all
D MajorD              A augmentedA   E MajorE
even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back


[Verse 4]

A augmentedA         D MajorD
Farewell all my family
      E MajorE

      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Please appreciate I must make a break
     A augmentedA       E MajorE
just to see what I can do
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
The stage is set so understand
   A augmentedA             E MajorE
I can't hide in the wings no more
    D MajorD        E MajorE       A augmentedA
got to go now it's no use me staying home


[Chorus 2]
          D MajorD  A augmentedA
All I can say is I love you
     D MajorD          A augmentedA    E MajorE
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
     D MajorD     A augmentedA      E MajorE
And I think I'm always gonna miss you
    D MajorD    A augmentedA   E MajorE
And I love..... you always
        D MajorD   A augmentedA    E MajorE
I think I'm always gonna miss ya
    D MajorD           A augmentedA   E MajorE

And I love..... you and I miss you
D MajorD             A augmentedA        E MajorE

    D MajorD    A augmentedA     E MajorE
