C/G C Em Am C Fmaj7 x2
[C/G]There was a pretty gi[Em]rl
from some[Am] small suburb o[C]f D[Fmaj7]allas
and she[C/G] came up to New Y[Em]ork with a drea[Am]m[C] [Fmaj7]
In t[C/G]he confusion and the[Em] noise
all of her [Am]beauty and he[C]r po[Fmaj7]ise
turned gr[C/G]ey like snow be[Em]side the city stree[C]t
she[C/G] met a boy named St[Em]even
they made lo[Am]ve in his a[C]partm[Fmaj7]ent
in a sec[C/G]ond story wa[Em]lk up out in Queens[Am] [C] [Fmaj7]
and[C] the things she hoped to f[Em]ind
beneath him[Am] on that August n[Fmaj7]ight
was the fa[C]rthest thing from h[Em]er
as she dressed to leav[Am]e[C] [Fmaj7]
so she h[Fmaj7]ides h[G6]er [C]eyes
says a [Fmaj7]slow g[G6]ood[C]bye
swears by the [Fmaj7]morn-i[G6]ng li[C]ght, sh[Em]e'll be f[Fmaj7]ine
at a wed[C]ding in Conne[Em]cticut
the moth[Am]er of the bri[Fmaj7]de
day drea[C]ms about her [Em]husband who's just past[Am] [C] [Fmaj7]
as she s[C]tands to give her to[Em]ast
she says the [Am]only thing i k[Fmaj7]now
is when you [C]find a love thats wor[Em]th it
make it last[C] [C]
so s[C]he chokes back the tea[Em]rs
and speaks of [Am]all her daughters y[Fmaj7]ears
thirty ch[C]ristmas' of m[Em]emories that she keep[Am]s[C] [Fmaj7]
and the s[C]peech was sad and sw[Em]eet
she ki[Am]sses guests as t[Fmaj7]hey all leave
then h[C]eads off to her h[Em]otel room to weep[C]
so she [Fmaj7]bides [G6]her t[C]ime
and says a [Fmaj7]slow g[G6]oodb[C]ye
swears by the[Fmaj7] morn-i[G6]ng l[C]ight, she[Em]'ll be fi[C]ne
yeah she [Fmaj7]hides [G6]her [C]eyes
though its [Fmaj7]hard s[G6]ome nigh[C]ts
she'll take her [Fmaj7]own s[G6]weet ti[C]me, s[Em]he'll be [Fmaj7]fine
C/G Em C Fmaj7 x2
A w[C/G]elder who spent twen[Em]ty years
working [Am]in an auto pl[Fmaj7]ant
gets [C/G]laid off on a thu[Em]rsday afternoon[Am] [C] [Fmaj7]
and he [C/G]grips the fourty-fiv[Em]e
that rests in the [Am]glove box when he dr[Fmaj7]ives
then put[C/G]s the gun a[Em]way and wonders wha[Am]t to do[C] [Fmaj7]
so [C/G]he parks in his driv[Em]eway
and h[Am]ead against the st[Fmaj7]eering wheel
and tri[C/G]es to think w[Em]hat to tell his wife[Am] [C] [Fmaj7]
and in the [C/G]kitchen, he expla[Em]ins
Am ` Fmaj7
and swears they'll be okay
she says, y[C/G]ou're the only thi[Em]ng i need in this life[Am] [C] [C]
so he [Fmaj7]bides [G6]his [C]time
and says a [Fmaj7]slow g[G6]ood[C]bye
swears by the [Fmaj7]morn-i[G6]ng l[C]ight, [Em]he'll be [Fmaj7]fine
yes he [Fmaj7]hides [G6]his e[C]yes
