Chords for Mark Knopfler - If This Is Goodbye (An Evening With Mark Knopfler, 2009)

It was difficult after 9-11 to, you know, as a writer, to find any way of making any kind of a statement.
And it took a long time to write that.
But I think at times like that we need the writers that we've got.
I'm talking about the real wordsmiths who write prose, you know.
And I happened to read a piece in the paper by Ian McEwan about the phone calls,
the last phone calls that were made from the Twin Towers and also from the planes and stuff.
And just that the I love [E] you in these phone calls constituted a kind of victory.
[G] And that was a very, [G#] it was an encouraging thing to read.
It was this triumph of the message of love over such a barbaric and a backward act.
So I wrote if this is goodbye.
I don't know.
I played on one of these.
I think it's this one.
[N] Oh, it's back to the 58. _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ My famous [A] last words were [D] _ _ _ [G] laying around in tatters, [D] _ _ sounding [A] absurd. _ _
[D] _ _ Whatever [G] I try. _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] But I love you. _ _
[D] _ And that's [G] all that really matters.
[D] _ If this is [A] goodbye, _ _ _
[G] _ _ this is [D] goodbye. _ _ _
_ Your bright [A] shining sun will [D] _ _ light [G] up the way before me.
[D] _ _ You were [A] the one who [D] _ made me feel like [G] I could fly. _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] I love you. _ _
[D] _ _ Whatever [G] is waiting for me.
[D] _ _ This is [A] goodbye. _ _ _
[G] _ _ This is [D] goodbye. _ _ _
[A] _ Who knows [D] how long we got _
[A] _ or what [D] we're made out of.
[A] _ Who knows [D] there's a plan or not.
There is a I _ _ know [A] there is a _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ famous [A] last word.
_ [D] _
_ _ Could [G] never tell the story [D] _ _ spinning [A] on her in [D] _ the dark [G] of the sky.
But [D] _ _ _ [A] I love you. _ _
[D] _ _ And this [G] is our glory.
[D] _ _ This is [A] goodbye. _ _ _
[G] _ _ This is [D] goodbye. _ _ _
