Subject: CRD: Goodbye - Steve Earle

 

Goodbye

 

by Steve Earle on the album Train A Comin'

 

also on Emmylou Harris' Wrecking Ball

 

Intro is something like C G/B F G C

 

C G/B

I remember holdin' on to you

Am F C

All them long and lonely nights I put you through

C G/B

Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry

F G (G7) C

But I can't remember if we said goodbye

 

 

Bridge:

F C

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico

G G7

One place I may never go

G7 C G (G7)

In my life again

 

C G/B

Was I just off somewhere just too high

F G C

But I can't remember if we said goodbye

 

 

I only miss you every now and then

Like a soft breeze blowin up from the Caribbean

Most Novembers I break down and cry

But I can't remember if we said goodbye

 

Repeat bridge

 

Coda:

F G Am

But I can't remember if we said goodbye

F

Goodbye

Goodbye

 

*Note (G7) means maybe throw in a dominant seventh

the C and G chords use sus 4's etc off and on.

 

You can incorporate the riff that runs throughout the song into

your fingerpicking by playing it on the 4th (D) and 5th (A)

strings, effectively playing Csus4's, G6/B's, G7/B's etc.

 

Csus4=x33010

G/B =x20003

G6/B =x22003

G7/B =x23003

 

use a C harp for the harmonica solo

 

Cheers,
