Chris de Burgh – Say Goodbye To It All (Guitar)

       F        Am F           Am
INTRO: No borderline, no borderline...

                 F      G
Took a boat over Lake Geneva

Am     Em/G    Dm7       G     F
It was raining all night long

        D/F#         E/Ab   Am  
We were lucky and we saw no enemy

    F         C            F        C
And came from Switzerland, poor refugees

F            C       G
Far from the guns of war

   F        G         C    Dm G7
We said goodbye to it all

C                       F       G
They brought us in to a nurse's station

Am     Em/G   Dm7      G     F
Half a mile behind the lines

   D/F#         E/Ab      Am      
Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking

   F       C                 F       C
To see the children, and the walking wounded

F            C      G
Hoping for a ticket home

    F       G         C    Dm G7
And say goodbye to it all

C              F         G
I woke up on a cold blue morning

   Am      Em/G   Dm7              G       F
To see her there, standing right beside me

     D/F#          E/Ab            Am       
Long years since I left her at the borderline

    F       C         F         C
And how she found me, I'd never know

    F          C         G
But we decided there and then

   F       G         C
To say goodbye to it all

G  C  F
To it all

        C   G/C C  F/C  
Say goodbye to  it all

    G   C   G/C C  F/C  G
Say goodbye to  it all

C                 F            G
Took a train from Paris to the ocean

Am      Em/G    Dm7        G       F
Found a small hotel by the coast

   D/F#                E/Ab       Am      
As we walked along the beaches of Normandy

   F       C        F      C
We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold

    F           C              G
And whispered a prayer for the boys

    F        G         C    Dm G7
Who said goodbye to it all

C                     F            G
Now we've got our own place by the water

    Am       Em/G       Dm7   G     F
And I have a job in the old hotel

       D/F#            E/Ab         Am      
She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter

     F       C           F        C
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice

      F           C           G
We've got all the time in the world

   F        G         C    
We said goodbye to it all

   F        G         C    
We said goodbye to it all

 C  G/C C  F  
'Bye to it all

G       C   G/C C  F
Say goodbye to  it all

G       C   G/C C  F
Say goodbye to  it all

G       C   G/C C  F
Say goodbye to  it all

G       C   G/C C  F
Say goodbye to  it all

G       C   G/C C  F
Say goodbye

G       C   G/C C  F
Say goodbye...
