****Some of you will argue that the "G/B should be C/B
         It's NOT Listen Closely...also if you want to                  
         substitute the "Cadd9" with the "C" you can"
   


      ***Capo 1st Fret***

G/B = x20033


Intro - G - Am7 - G/B - Cadd9 (or C)



(1st Verse)
          G
Well, it's two miles East to West
    Am7
Only four miles North to South
            G/B
And when you pass the only red light
        Cadd9
You will see the pastor's house
      G
People look you in the eye
        Am7
And they smile at you and wave
          G/B
Yeah, they always take the time
           Cadd9
To stop and ask you, 'How's your day?'
                Am7      D
It's hard to say goodbye
                  Am7       D
'Cause baby, it's a good life



(2nd Verse)
      G
At the high school football game
        Am7
Is where I got my first kiss
      G/B
I still feel the butterflies
      Cadd9
I still taste it on my lips
           G
And when we lost our Uncle Jake
      Am7
Back in 1983
       G/B
We heard Daddy upstairs weepin'
    Cadd9
So we cried ourselves to sleep
                Am7     D
It's hard to say goodbye
                  Am7       D
'Cause baby, it's a good life


(Chorus)
   G       Am7       C       D
Goodbye to mem'ries that I saved
   G       Am7       C       D
Goodbye to all the friends I made
   G       Am7       C        D    Am7   D
Goodbye to all the home I'll ever kno----ow
  (NO   CHORD)  G
Small town Jericho




(Bridge)
           Em                  C
And every road here looks the same
           Em              C
This ol' town won't ever change
                   C/B      D
And that's what I love the most
             C  C/B  Am   D   G<---walk down
And it's the rea-son  I  must go


( G - Am7 - C - D = 2x's)


(3rd Verse)
I put boxes on the porch
Daddy puts them in the car
Best to get the loadin' done
Won't be easy in the dark
'Cause I'm leavin' after midnight
And if anyone asks why
I wanna wait 'til Mama's sleepin'
'Cause I can't bear to see her cry
It's hard to say goodbye
'Cause baby, it's a good life



(Chorus)
   G       Am7       C       D
Goodbye to mem'ries that I saved
   G       Am7       C       D
Goodbye to all the friends I made
   G       Am7       C        D    Am7   D
Goodbye to all the home I'll ever kno----ow
  C           G - Am7 - C - D
Small town Jericho
     G - Am7 - C - D
Goodbye
   G - Am7 - C - D
oooo
