Goodbye Stranger Supertramp
GOODBYE STRANGER ? SUPERTRAMP
INTRO:
(Vintage Electric Piano ? 120bpm)
[Ab] [Ab] [Ab] [Ab]
VERSE 1:
Ab (1/2 bar) Abē
It was an early morning yesterday.
[Db/Ab] I was up before the dawn[Ab].
Ab (1/2 bar) Abē
And I really have enjoyed my stay.
[Db/Ab] But I must be moving on.[Ab]
BRIDGE 1:
(+E Guitar +Bass +Drums)
Like a [Ab7/Gb]king without a castle.
Like a [Fm7]queen without a throne.
I'm an [Db]early morning lover.
And I [Bbm7]must be moving on.
VERSE 2:
[Ab](EP + Light Drums)[Ab]
Ab (1/2 bar) Abē
Now I believe in what you say,
[Db/Ab] Is the undisputed truth.[Ab]
Ab (1/2 bar) Abē
But I have to have things my own way,
[Db/Ab] To keep me in my youth.[Ab]
BRIDGE 2:
(+E Guitar +Bass +Organ)
Like a [Ab7/Gb]ship without an anchor.
Like a [Fm7]slave without a chain.
Just th[Db]e thought of those sweet ladies,
Sends a[Bbm7] shiver through my veins.
And [Ab]I will go on shining.
[Ab7/Gb]Shining like brand new.
I'll [Db]never look behind me.
My [Bbm7]troubles will be few.

[Ab] Goodbye stranger [Ab7/Gb] it's been nice.
[Db] Hope you find your [Bbm] para[Eb7]dise.
[Ab] Tried to see your [Ab7/Gb] point of view.
[Db] Hope your dreams will[Bbm] all come [Eb7]true.
[Ab] Goodbye Mary, [Ab7/Gb] goodbye Jane.
[Db] Will we ever [Bbm] meet a[Eb7]gain?
[Ab] Feel no sorrow, [Ab7/Gb] feel no shame.
[Db] Come tomorrow, [Bbm] feel no [Eb7]pain.
Now sweet de[Ab]votion is not for [Ab7/Gb]me.
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane.
Just give me [Db]motion to set me [Bbm]free.[Eb7]
Will we ever meet again?
In the land and the [Ab]ocean far a[Ab7/Gb]way,
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame.
It's the life I've [Db]chosen, every [Bbm]day.[Eb7]
Come tomorrow, feel no pain.
So, goodbye [Ab]Mary, goodbye [Ab+/C]Jane.
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane.
Will we [Fm]ever meet a[Ab7/Gb]gain?
Will we ever meet again?
VERSE 3:
[Ab](EP + Light Drums +E Guita[Ab]r)
Ab (1/2 bar) Abē
Now some they do and some they don't,
[Db/Ab] And some you just can't [Ab]tell.
Ab (1/2 bar) Abē
And some they will and some they won't.
[Db/Ab] For some it's just as [Ab]well.
BRIDGE 3:
(+Bass +Organ)
You can [Ab7/Gb]laugh at my behaviour.
That'll [Fm7]never bother me.
Say the [Db]Devil is my saviour.
But [Bbm7]I don't pay no heed.
And [Ab]I will go on shining.
[Ab7/Gb]Shining like brand new.
I'll [Db]never look behind me.
My [Bbm7]troubles will be few.
