Riff 1

Verse 1

G Riff 1

Fare thee well my brother

please don't stand in my way

I'm going down to that dirty town

no matter what you say

G Riff 1

You fooled me and you ruled me

and you played in every part

I gotta go, it's no use me stayin' home

G Riff 1

Goodbye my sister

please don't let me see you cry

Gonna be a star some day

no matter what they say

G Riff 1

And when you hear the crowds

all callin' and shouting out my name

until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied

G Riff 1

So long sweet Melinda

don't forget that you're my girl

Gonna dress you fine

and if you give me time

make you proud like I said I would

G Riff 1

And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy

If I find the world looks like it should

Candy cars, movie stars, street bars

then I could stay a while

Well I love you

Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome

and I'll miss you all

even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back

Small Break: D

Farewell all my family

don't you know I mean you so well

Please appreciate I must make a break

just to see what I can do

G Riff 1

The stage is set so understand

I can't hide in the wings no more

I've got to go now it's no use me staying home

All I can say is I love you

Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome

And I think I'm always gonna miss you

Intro riff

And I love you always

Intro riff

I think I'm always gonna miss ya

even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back

Break

over whistling

Then Intro x3

And I love you and I miss you

If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail

If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail

But I love you and I miss you
