Verse 1
G Riff 1
Fare thee well my brother
please don't stand in my [A]way
[G]I'm going down to that d[D]irty town
no m[A]atter what you say
G Riff 1
You fooled me and you ruled me
and you played in every [A]part
I gotta [G]go, it's no [D]use me stayin' home
G Riff 1
Goodbye my sister
please don't le[A]t me see you cry
G[G]onna be a star so[D]me day
no matter what they[A] say
G Riff 1
And when you hear the crowds
all callin' and sh[A]outing out my name
until [G]then, my little [D]friend, I'll be unsatisfied
G Riff 1
So long sweet Melinda
don't forget[A] that you're my girl
Gonna d[G]ress you fine
and if you g[D]ive me time
make you p[A]roud like I said I would
G Riff 1
And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy
If I find the w[A]orld looks like it should
Candy c[G]ars, movie stars, street bars[D]
then I could stay a while
Well I l[G]ove y[D]ou
Shall I wr[A]ite or phone from Paris or Rome
and I'll m[G]iss you all[D]
even th[A]o' you're tryin' to hold me back
Small Break: D
[G]Farewell all my family
don't you know I mean you so well
Please appreciate I must [D]make a break
just to see what I can do
G Riff 1
The stage is set so understand
I can't hide in the wings no more
I've got to[G] go now it's no use me staying home
All I can say is I l[G]ove y[D]ou
Shall I [A]write or phone from Paris or Rome
And I th[G]ink I'm always gonna m[D]iss you
Intro Riff: G D D A
[A]And I love you always
Intro Riff: G D D A
[A]I think I'm always gonna miss ya
even [G]tho' you're tryin' to h[D]old me back
Break: G D
G D over whistling
Then Intro x3
[G]And I love you a[G]nd [D]I [D]mi[A]ss you
If you d[G]on't get no mai[D]l [D]you know I'm in [A]jail
If you d[G]on't get no mai[D]l [D]you know I'm in [A]jail
But I [G]love you a[D]nd[D] I mi[A]ss you
