[Verse 1]
Am C
It was a Tuesday and the rain was lashing down
G Am E
Lashing down, lashing down on this god forsaken town
Am C
It was a Tuesday and the rain was lashing down
E Am
And you left without saying goodbye
Am C
We had a quarrel and I said some silly things
G Am E
Wish that I could go back to do things differently
Am C
We had a quarrel and I said some silly things
E Am
When you left without saying goodbye
[Refrain]
Dm Am
Now I pass by every day to leave flowers by the roadside
E Am
Flowers by the roadside, Flowers by the roadside
Dm Am
Now I pass by every day to leave flowers by the roadside
E Am
‘Cause it’s hard to say goodbye
E Am
Goodbye my love, goodbye my love
F C
You were taken from me far too soon
E Am
Goodbye my love, goodbye my love
F E Am
And I promise that I’ll never forget you
[Verse 2]
Am C
We had a quarrel and I said some silly things
G Am E
Wish that I could go back to do things differently
Am C
We had a quarrel and I said some silly things
E Am
When you left without saying goodbye
Am C
The storm was raging and the lightning struck
G Am E
And the old “???” fell into the part of your truck (??)
Am C
All of a sudden in a blink of an eye
E Am
You were gone without saying goodbye
[Refrain]
Dm Am
Now I pass by every day to leave flowers by the roadside

Goodbye my love, goodbye my love
