(first chorus cello only)
Goodbye, goodbye,
Eastern Standard Time
It could be roses in my pockets
or be roses on my stone.
The [C]waves on the [Am]shore take [F]all of my bei[C]ng,
[Dm]gray and [C]habitual, re[F]solved [G]and ser[C]ene.
And [C]I'm at your [Am]door half-s[F]miling [C]
[Dm]All of a man half-[C]waiting for the [F]bell [G]to [C]ring.
While [A]all of those waves un[C]wavering
I'm [Bb]wa--[C]ve-r[G]ing
Good[F]bye, good[C]bye, Eastern [F]Standard Time
it could be [F]roses in my pockets
or be [C]roses on my s[G]tone
Good[F]bye, good[C]bye
In the [F]dark, dark hour of [C]night [Em]
I'll be the [F]only one alone
I'll be the [C]only one alone
I'll be the [G]only one alone [C]
( Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/tall_heights/eastern_standard_time_crd.html )
It [C]can't be ig[Am]nored
though it [F]can be screened. [C]
Oh [Dm]singing out these [C]melodies
with [F]all [G]I [C]mean.
So sur[Dm]round and a[Am]dore me,
ar[Dm]ouse and im[Am]plore me.
The [A]waves will roll, the [C]waves will crash
and [Bb]what left [C]will there [G]be?
Oh, [Bb]what left [C]will there [G]be?
Good[F]bye, good[C]bye, Eastern [F]Standard Time
it could be [F]roses in my pockets
or be [C]roses on my s[G]tone
Good[F]bye, good[C]bye
In the [F]dark, dark hour of [C]night [Em]
I'll be the [F]only one alone
I'll be the [C]only one alone
I'll be the [G]only one alone
I'll be the [F]only one alone
I'll be the [C]only one alone
I'll be the [G]only one alone
Good[Am]bye, goodbye[C], good[F]bye
Good[Am]bye, goodbye[C], good[Dm]bye
The [C]waves on the [Am]shore take [F]all of my bei[C]ng.
[Am] Goodbye, good[C]bye.[F]
