The chorus has a little more going on than I've transcribed here, but the bass line is mostly hitting a Bb. I play the riff and then a Bb on the low E and sometimes a D on the A string as well. Gm Dm Gm C Csus C
Dm        Bb             C
She said, darling I'm in love with your mind

Dm          Bb           C
The way you care for me, it's so kind

Dm      Bb      C                      G    Gsus G
Love to see you again, wish I had more time

Dm      Bb              C
She was laughing as she brushed my cheek

Dm            Bb              C
Why don't you call me, angel, maybe next week

Dm      Bb              C                 G
Promise now, cross your heart and hope to die

Things I try to put shine in her eyes

Wire wheels and shimmering things

Dm      Bb      C                      G    Gsus G
Wild nights when the whole world seemed to fly

Dm      Bb              C
She said, the thing that's so unique

Dm            Bb              C
When we're together we don't have to speak

Dm      Bb              C                 G
We'll always be such good friends, you and I
[Chorus] She was saying goodbye She was saying goodbye She was saying goodbye
