Colin Hay ? Goodbye my red rose A C# I didn't love you till you'd gone D Bm E You told me not to give my heart away A C# You were right and I was wrong D Bm E A G# A G# F# I should have known, I couldn't make you stay I bless the day you were born I curse the day you saw into me You said my eyes were so forlorn Now when I'm alone I let my tears run free They flow so easy, easily A C# D C# A So goodbye my red rose D C# Bm A G# B A Your memory won't fade away A C# D C# A When the curtain falls D C# Bm A G# B A We know you won't be back for more I wonder where you hang your clothes But on this I never dwell too long I asked around but no one knows I should have known that would be your way Not to, not to say So goodbye my red rose In the spring your scent will grow There's no more curtain calls And the man has put all the chairs away So goodbye my red rose There's no more, no more curtain calls
