_ [E] _ Goodbye, [A] Mama _
And goodbye [B] to you too, [E] Pa
_ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ Little sister, you'll have to wait a [A] while to come along _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ Goodbye [A] to this house and all its [B] memories _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] We just got too old to say we're [A]
wrong _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ We've got [B] to make one last trip [A] to my bedroom
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ I guess I'll have to leave [A] some stuff behind
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ It's funny how the same [A] old crooked pictures
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ Just don't seem the [A] same to me tonight _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
There ain't no [A] use in shedding no [E] more tears, Ma
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
There ain't no use in shouting at me, [A] Pa _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
And I can't [A] live no longer with your [B] fears, Ma
_ I _ _ _ _ [F#] _
love you, but that hasn't helped at [A] all _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] As each of us must [A] do the things that matter
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] And all of us must [A] see what we can see
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] Though it was long [A] ago.
You must remember
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] You were [A] once as young and scared as me _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B]
I don't [A] know how hard it is yet, [B] Mama _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
When you realize you're growing [A] old _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
I know how [A] hard it is now to be younger
[B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
I know you've tried to keep me from the [A] cold _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] Thanks for all you've [A] done.
It may sound hollow
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ But thank you [A] for the good times that we've known
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ But [B] I must find [A] my own road now to follow
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] You will all be welcome [A] in my home _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I've got [A] my suitcase.
I [B] must go now
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ I don't mind about the things you [A] said
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[B] I'm sorry, [A] Ma.
I don't know where I'm going _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ Remember, little sister, look ahead
[A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ Tomorrow I'll be in [A] some other sunrise
_ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [B] Maybe I'll have [A] someone at my side _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ Mama give your [A] love back to your husband
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ Father, you have taught [A] me well
