G Riff 1
Fare thee well my brother
please don't stand in my [A]way
[G]I'm going down to that d[D]irty town
no m[A]atter what you say

I gotta [G]go, it's no [D]use me stayin' home

G[G]onna be a star so[D]me day

all callin' and sh[A]outing out my name
until [G]then, my little [D]friend, I'll be unsatisfied

So long sweet Melinda

And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy
If I find the w[A]orld looks like it should
Candy c[G]ars, movie stars, street bars[D]

then I could stay a while

The stage is set so understand

I can't hide in the wings no more
I've got to[G] go now it's no use me staying home

And I th[G]ink I'm always gonna m[D]iss you
