Timothy Charles Buckley III (February 14, 1947 – June 29, 1975) was an experimental vocalist and performer who incorporated jazz, psychedelia, funk, soul, and avant-garde rock, in a short career spanning the late 1960s and early 1970s, ending with his death at age 28 from an alcohol-heroin overdose.
Buckley often regarded his tenor voice as an instrument, a talent most noticeable on his albums Happy Sad, Lorca, and Starsailor. His first marriage was to Mary Guibert, with whom he had a child, musician Jeff Buckley.

Goodbye And Hello (Larry Beckett-Tim Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY >From Goodbye And Hello, 1967
***** Okay, here goes...This is played capoed at the first fret. The chords for the 'O the new children' parts are all the same. Listen to the song to find out how it goes. *****
AmD The antique people are down in the dungeons AmD Run by machines and afraid of the tax AmD Their heads in the grave and their hands on their eyes AmG Hauling their hearts around circular tracks FC Pretending forever their masquerade towers GGsus4 Are not really riddled with widening cracks G And I wave goodbye to iron FGm And smile hello to the air
GmFEb O the new children dance I am young DGmF All around the balloons I will live EbDGm Swaying by chance I am strong FEbD To the breeze from the moon I can give GmFEb Painting the sky You the strange DGmF With the colors of sun Seed of day EbDGm Freely they fly Feel the change FEbDGm / F / EDG As all become one Know the Way, know the Way
G / / / (x2)
GC The velocity addicts explode on the highway GC Ignoring the journey and moving so fast GC Their nerves fall apart and they gasp but can't breathe GC They run from the cops of the skeleton past FC Petrified by tradition in a nightmare they stagger GBbAmFG Into nowhere at all and then look up aghast G And I wave goodbye to speed FGm And smile hello to a rose
O the new children play I am young Under juniper trees I will live Sky blue or grey I am strong They continue at ease I can give Moving so slow You the strange That serenely they can Seed of day Gracefully grow Feel the change And yes still understand Know the Way
GBbAmGmF The king and the queen in their castle of billboards GBbAmGmF Sleepwalk down the hallways dragging behind GmBbAmGmF All their possessions and transient treasures GmBbAmGmF As they go to worship the electronic shrine CEb On which is playing the late late commercial FCG In that hollowest house of the opulent blind G And I wave goodbye to Mammon FGm And smile hello to a stream
O the new children buy I am young All the world for a song I will live Without a dime I am strong To which they belong I can give Nobody owns You the strange Anything anywhere Seed of day Everyone's grown Feel the change Up so big they can share Know the Way
CBbC The vaudeville generals cavort on the stage BbC And shatter their audience with submachine guns BbC And Freedom and Violence the acrobat clowns BbC Do a balancing act on the graves of our sons
(single notes mostly matching melody - suggested tab -->) -0-2-3-2-0----------------| -----------1-3-1-0--------| -------------------2-0----| -----------------------0--| --------------------------| --------------------------| While the tapdancing Emperor sings "War is peace" (N.C.) And Love the Magician disappears in the fun G And I wave goodbye to murder FGm And smile hello to the rain
O the new children can't I am young Tell a foe from a friend I will live Quick to enchant I am strong And so glad to extend I can give Handfuls of dawn You the strange To kaleidoscope men Seed of day Come from beyond Feel the change The Great Wall of Skin Know the Way
DC The bloodless husbands are jesters who listen DC Like sheep to the shrieks and commands of their wives DC And the men who aren't men leave the women alone DGF See them all faking love on a bed made of knives DC Afraid to discover or trust in their bodies DGF And in secret divorce they will never survive G And I wave goodbye to ashes FGm And smile hello to a girl
O the new children kiss I am young They are so proud to learn I will live Womanwood bliss I am strong And the manfire that burns I can give Knowing no fear You the strange They take off their clothes Seed of day Honest and clear Feel the change As a river that flows Know the Way
AmD The antique people are fading out slowly AmD Like newspapers flaming in mind's suicide AmD Godless and sexless directionless loons AmG Their sham sandcastles dissolve in the tide FC They put on their deathmasks and compromise daily GBbAmFG The new children will live for the elders have died G And I wave goodbye to America FGm And smile hello to the world
