Capo II
A D A E
A D
And you know the sun's settin' fast,
A E
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
A D
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
A D A E
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
A D A E
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
A D A E A
Goodnight.
A D
Up the street beside that red neon light,
A E
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night.
A D
He was the tender and I ordered a beer,
A E
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here.
A D
But you know the sun's settin' fast,
A E
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
A D
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
A D A E
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
A D A E
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
A D A E A
Goodnight.
A D
It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss.
A D
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist.
A D
Over there is where I bought my first car.
A E
It turned over once but then it never went far.
A D
And I can see the sun's settin' fast,
A E
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
A D
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
A D A E
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
A D A E
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
A D A E A
Goodnight.
A D
I buried my Mama and I buried my Pa.
A E
They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall.
A D
I bring them flowers about every day,
D E
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say.
A D
If they could see how the sun's settin' fast,
A E
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
A D
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
A D A E
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
A D A E
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
A D A E A
Goodnight.
A D
Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightning-bugs fly.
D E
But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes.
A D
I'm leaving tomorrow but I don't wanna go.
D E
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul.
A D
But I can see the sun's settin' fast,
A E
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
A D
Well, go on now I gotta kiss you goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
A D A E
Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town.
A D A E
I can you see the sun's settin' down on my town, on my town,
A D A E A
Goodnight.
A D A E A
Goodnight.
