Chords

Written by Lloyd Price [Intro] (Spoken)
E                E7             A          F#m7
Ah, remember this

B                B7             E
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out

E                E7             A          F#m7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two

B                B7             E
I could have been twelve actually
[Chorus]
E                E7             F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye

B                 B7             E
Do you think that I will sit and cry

E          E7                   F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so

B                B7             E
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse]
E              E7                 F#m7
Just because I want someone who's kind

B               B7               E
With a heart as good and pure as mine

    E          E7             F#m7
But maybe I am asking far too much

B                     B7            E
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Bridge]
           A                        B
I know you think you're smart, just running around

             B                      B7
and breaking lovers' hearts
[Chorus]
E                E7             F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye

B                 B7             E
Do you think that I will sit and cry

E          E7                   F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so

B                B7             E
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Horn Solo] (Lennon quietly rambling about nonsense) E E7 F#m7 B B7 E E E7 F#m7 B B7 E [Horn Solo continued] E E7 F#m7 B B7 E
E              E7              F#m7
This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
B              B7              E
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye [Chorus]
E                E7             F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye

B                 B7             E
Do you think that I will sit and cry

E          E7                   F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so

B                B7             E
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Outro] (Repeat and fade chorus chords) Goodbye, so long Been a long year
