The Beatles (Paul)
Goodbye (demo)
(Lennon/McCartney)
 
This was one of those songs that the Beatles gave away. I think I like Paul's acoustic demo better.
As a note, the demo recording by Paul McCartney, which can be found online, is tuned halfway in between
standard and half step down tuning, so it is tricky to tune the guitar correctly to play along with the
recording.
 
Here are the non-standard chords used in this song.
 
C       x32013
Am7/G   302010
Fm/C    x33111
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                          Em
Please don't wake me up to late
     Am             F      Dm       G   C     G
Tomorrow comes, and I will not be late
C                      Em       Am
Late today when it becomes tomorrow
       F         G   C      G7
I will leave and go away

G
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye,
G
My love, goodbye
 
[Verse 2]
C                         Em
Songs that lingered on my lips
         Am
Excite me now
F          Dm      G   C     G
And linger on my mind
C                           Em
Leave your flowers at my door
        Am
I leave them for
    F         G      C        G7
The one who waits behind
 
[Chorus]
G
Goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye,
goodbye, goodbye,
G
My love, goodbye

My love, goodbye

Far away my lover sings
   Am               F      Dm      G     C      G
A lonely song and calls me to his side
C                         Em
Where the sound of lonely drums
     Am         F        G       C         G7
Invites me on I must be by his side
 
[Chorus]

Goodbye, goodbye,

goodbye, goodbye,
G
My love, goodbye
