Chris De Burgh - Say Goodbye To It All
CAPO: 5th Fret
F Am F Am
INTRO: No borderline, no borderline...
Piano - F Am F Am F Am F Am
C Dm G C Dm G7 C
F G
Took a boat over Lake Geneva
Am Em/G Dm7 G F
It was raining all night long
D/F# E/Ab Am
We were lucky and we saw no enemy
F C F C
And came from Switzerland, poor refugees
F C G
Far from the guns of war
F G C Dm G7
We said goodbye to it all
C F G
They brought us in to a nurse's station
Am Em/G Dm7 G F
Half a mile behind the lines
D/F# E/Ab Am
Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking
F C F C
To see the children, and the walking wounded
F C G
Hoping for a ticket home
F G C Dm G7
And say goodbye to it all
C F G
I woke up on a cold blue morning
Am Em/G Dm7 G F
To see her there, standing right beside me
D/F# E/Ab Am
Long years since I left her at the borderline
F C F C
And how she found me, I'd never know
F C G
But we decided there and then
F G C
To say goodbye to it all
G C F
To it all
C G/C C F/C
Say goodbye to it all
G C G/C C F/C G
Say goodbye to it all
C F G
Took a train from Paris to the ocean
Am Em/G Dm7 G F
Found a small hotel by the coast
D/F# E/Ab Am
As we walked along the beaches of Normandy
F C F C
We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold
F C G
And whispered a prayer for the boys
F G C Dm G7
Who said goodbye to it all
C F G
Now we've got our own place by the water
Am Em/G Dm7 G F
And I have a job in the old hotel
D/F# E/Ab Am
She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter
F C F C
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice
F C G
We've got all the time in the world
F G C
We said goodbye to it all
F G C
We said goodbye to it all
C G/C C F
C G/C C F
'Bye to it all
G C G/C C F
Say goodbye to it all
G C G/C C F
Say goodbye to it all
G C G/C C F
Say goodbye to it all
G C G/C C F
Say goodbye to it all
G C G/C C F
Say goodbye
G C G/C C F
Say goodbye...
