Chords

#1 in Australia & UK in 1965 [Verse 1]
G       C                G
Say goodbye, my own true lover

      G7             C    C7
As we sing a lover's song

       F                  C          Am
How it breaks my heart to leave you

        F           G  G7
Now the carnival is gone
[Verse 2]
      C                 G
High above, the dawn is waking

       G7                C   C7
And my tears are falling rain

        F           C     Am
For the carnival is over

       F          C      C7
We may never meet again
[Chorus]
       F    G             C       Am
Like a drum, my heart was beating

         F   G              Em
And your kiss, was sweet as wine

        F   G             Em        Am
But the joys, of love are fleeting

         F           Bb     G
For Pierrot and Columbine
[Verse 3]
        C                G
Now the harbour light is calling

          G7              C   C7
This will be our last goodbye

           F           C     Am
Though the carnival is over

       F   G           C      C7
I will love you till I die
[Chorus]
       F    G             C       Am
Like a drum, my heart was beating

         F   G              Em
And your kiss, was sweet as wine

        F   G             Em        Am
But the joys, of love are fleeting

         F           Bb     G
For Pierrot and Columbine
[Verse 4]
        C                G
Now the harbour light is calling

          G7              C   C7
This will be our last goodbye

           F           C     Am
Though the carnival is over

       F   G           C      C7
I will love you till I die
[Outro]
           F           C    Am
Though the carnival is over

       F   G     G7     C
I will love you, till I die
