Darling this will be good-(A7) bye forever (D) more.
There goes my (A7) reason for (D) liv- (A7) i-(D) ng (D7)
(G) There goes the (A7) one of my (D) dreams (A7)
(D) There goes my (D7) only pos-(G) session
(D) There goes my (A7) ev'ry-(D) thing. (A7)
As my (D) mem'ry (G) turns back the (D) pages
I can see the happy (A7) years we had be-(D) fore (A7)
Now the (D) love that (G) kept this old heart (D) beating
Has been shattered by the (A7) closing of the (D) door.
