This is from Steely Dan's first single "Dallas" b/w "Sail The Waterway" which is
currently OOP. Poco most famously covered the song in the mid-seventies.
G Gm
G Am C Am
I lived in holy house but the
Grand Hotel
Back streets of this old town I know so well
and I drunken no holy wine save Muscatel
And now my friend I got to go
You tell everyone I know
Sayin' goodbye
(chorus)
Am C
Bye bye Dallas
I can't stay
Should've been at the Palace
Yesterday
Bye bye Dallas
Got to go
And I remember when they told me so
Right now I'm wonderin' where the good times are gone
All the things I never loved
And they're what's mine
A hot city and an empty park
Can make a man think on
And I been living low so long
I gotta get back where I belong
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Alt chorus)
Bye bye Dallas
I can't stay
Should've been at the Palace
Yesterday
Hey no father
It's understood
Livin' low undercover
I'm/You're no good
Bye bye Dallas
