Capo 2
[G]Summer came and [D]days grew long
[C]Lilacs bloomed 'round [G]Meulfront pond
[G]First place I [D]ever held his [C]hand [D]
[G]Timeless walks and [D]breathless nights
Went [C]rushing past like [G]geese in flight
I was [C]prayin' it was [D]never gonna [G]end
Then the [C]autumn leaves were blazin' like the [Em]fireworks in July
And [C]for a fleeting moment, that [Em]flame was in his eyes
But as [C]quickly as the colors came
[Am]They burned out of the [D]sky
Chorus:
Good[C]bye,[D] Adi[G]os
See you [C]later [D]I gotta [G]go
[C]I've been [D]holding on too l[Em]ong[Am]
[C]This is [D]my leaving [G]song
I'll take one last look around
Pull up roots that I put down
Drive across that Hastings County line
I'll trade a part of who I was
For a future I'm not certain of
But I'll keep the best of what I leave behind
Oh I'll miss those Sunday mornings and those Friday football games
A peace that comes from knowing some places never change
That's the reason that I'll miss it
And the reason I can't stay
Goodbye Adios
See you later I gotta go
I've been holding on too long
This is my leaving song
This is my leaving song
