🎸 Verse 1:
C               Am
Said you didn't need me,
C               Am
Said you had to leave me,
C                         Am
So I helped you pack your bags,
E
And I showed you to the door.

🎸 Verse 2:
C                 Am
Thought I heard a cab door,
C                     Am
Just before I hit the cold floor,
C                    Am
But I woke up in the morning,
E                    E7
And I drank a little more.


🎸 Verse 3:
F                       C
You said I cramped your style,
F                 C
I didn't make you smile,
Am               G
And all my sweet nothings,
        D/F#           F
Came to nothing in the end.


🎸 Chorus:
C            Am                  C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.
C            Am                  C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.
C            Am                  E
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.


🎸 Verse 4:
C                 Am
Phone rang in the night,
C                Am
I woke up with a fright,
C                           Am
You crying "Something isn't right",
E
And you were coming home again.


🎸 Verse 5:
F                           C
You said you'd changed your mind,
F                             C
You'd been thinking 'bout the good times,
Am                         G
How we should always be together,
       D/F#           F
And forever you'll be mine.


🎸 Verse 6:
F                       C
Why don't you leave for good this time,
F                    C
Do me a favour, stop wasting my time,
F                      C
I'm tired of drinking, fighting and crying,
F                       C              Am
Why don't you leave for good this time.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.
C            Am                  C
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.
C        Am               E
Farewell, so long, little boy.


🎸 Verse 7:
C                       Am
Don't hold your breath, read my lips,
           C                        Am
I've got a million other suckers to get my kicks,
C                     Am
Do me a favour, stop, wasting my time,
E
I'm so tired, I'm so fucking tired.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye little boy.
C       Am               E
Goodbye, so long, little boy.
