Verse 1

G5               Riff 1
Fare thee well my brother
                         A5
please don't stand in my way
G5                       D5
I'm going down to that dirty town
    A5
no matter what you say
    G5              Riff 1
You fooled me and you ruled me
                        A5
and you played in every part
        G5           D5
I gotta go, it's no use me stayin' home


G5                Riff 1
Goodbye my sister
               A5
please don't let me see you cry
 G5                D5 
Gonna be a star some day
                   A5
no matter what they say
    G5                Riff 1
And when you hear the crowds
                  A5
all callin' and shouting out my name
      G5               D5
until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied

So long sweet Melinda

don't forget that you're my girl
       G5
Gonna dress you fine
            D5           
and if you give me time
          A5
make you proud like I said I would
             G5                 Riff 1
And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy
               A5
If I find the world looks like it should
       G5                            D5
Candy cars, movie stars, street bars

then I could stay a while
            

        G5    D5
Well I love you
          A5
Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome

even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back
