Chords

This tab is based off the version of the song sung by Jack Sheldon. The chord progression is simplified, since there's a lot of improvised chords in the original and every version is slightly different. [Verse 1]
Cm
There’s a long goodbye.

G7                       Bb7   G7
And it happens everyday

Cm
when some passerby

Fm7
invites your eye

Bb7
to come her way.

Dm7     
Even as she smiles

Dm7
a quick hello,

Dm7
you’ve let her go.

           Cm
You’ve let the moment fly.
[Chorus 1]
Cm                                      Fm7
Too late you’d turn your head,

      Dm7                        G7       
you’d know you’ve said

Cm
the long goodbye.
[Verse 2]
        G7                     Bb7   G7
Can you recognise the theme –

Cm
on some other street

Fm7
two people meet

Bb7
as in a dream,

Dm7
running for a plane

Dm7
through the rain.

Dm7                     Cm
If the heart is quicker than the eye,

Fm7
they could be lovers

  G7       Cm
Until they die.
[Chorus 2]
Cm
It’s too late to try

Cm     Fm7  
when a missed hello

Dm7         G7   Cm
becomes the long goodbye.
