Bye-Bye-Baby Goodbye - Col Joye & His Joy Boys 1959
This song is fairly easy to play if you use barre chords
in the places where slides are indicated as “/” for up,
and “” for down.
The up slide F/F#/G is only heard faintly in the original
song, but I think it sounds good, so I kept it. The chord
sequence GFEm/Dm7 can be done with open chords, but the
alternative is GFEmD starting with the G barre chord
on fret 10.
