Richard Shindell - Gethsemani Goodbye
INTRO: Am F C G Dm F Am F C G Dm
Am F C G Dm
I remember everything
Am F C G Dm F
How I lost the way
Am F C G Dm
How I went too far
Am F C G Dm G
Down the Bardstown Road
Am G F G
How I drove around in circles
Am G F G
'Til the morning slipped away
F Am
Headed back to Louisville
C F Am F C G Dm
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
Am F C G Dm
All you really wanted
Am F C G Dm F
Was to go see Merton's shed
Am F C G Dm
Stroll around the garden
Am F C G Dm G
To pray beside his grave
Am G F G
But I refused to get directions
Am G F G
Just kept on driving like a fool
F Am
When the Interstate appeared
C F G
We kissed Gethsemani goodbye
BRIDGE:
F
It's just straight down 31
C
Broadway becomes Main
G
How I missed that turn
Dm F
I will never know___

Down the Bardstown Road

The friend you always needed

Would've kept our morning plan

But I drove us back to Louisville

And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
