They were married in [G]
the old [F] churchyard
[C] And they promised [Am] to be true to [D] each other
No matter [Em] how hard their [B] lives [E] might be
But [D] like meteors [A] that fell through moments parallel
They were [Am] soon to cross
[Dm] And on different [F] plots of earth [Dm] they both [E] did fall
Though [Dm] their lives had [G] really not been [Am] hard at all
Oh my, [F] what a shame, [Am] no [C] one's to blame
It just happened that [Bm] way
And [Am] there's nothing you can say
[D] When two [G] people say [E] goodbye
[Am] Oh, na na na [G] na [F] na na na [C] na na na na na na na na na
[G]
[Am]
Two brothers [G] promised [F] they'd return
[C] When the [Bm] war that they were [Am] fighting [D] was over
[Am] But only [G] one lived to [B] keep [E] his vow
And [A] the story I was told
Said [Am] he lived to be [A] quite old [Am] before time won out
[Dm] Someone asked [F] if he knew what they [E] both fought for
But he [D] could not recall [G] he'd ever been to
[Am] Oh my, what a [F] shame, [Am] no one's [C] to blame
It just happened [Bm] that way
[Am] And there's nothing [Em] you can say
[D] When two people [F] say [E] goodbye
[Am] Oh, for there's nothing [Em] you can say [F] when it's over
And [Am] there's nothing [G] you can do [F] when it's done
[Am] There's no battle you [G] can win
[D] And there's nothing to [B] begin
It's [E] not begun [Am] in this moment
[G] I recall your [F] face
[C] And I wonder if [Am] you still [D] think about me
[Am] Occasionally [C] I [F] still think of [E] you
[D] And I watch [A] the river flow
[Am] And I know I must [A] let go
[Am] But it's oh so hard
[Dm] For the waves are all around my [E] small canoe
[A] I had [Dm] always hoped [G] this boat could carry [Am] two
Oh my, what a [F] shame, no [C] one's to blame
It just happened [Bm] that way
[Am] And there's nothing you can [C] say
[A] When two [Bm] people say [E] goodbye [Am] Oh
