GOODBYE TO LOVE
By: Richard Carpenter & John Bettis
The Carpenters
Key: C, D

Key: C

 3   -3   -4  -5  5*  5
I'll say good-bye to love
3* -3  6 -5*   -5  -5 6   -6     7   6  7
No one ev-er cared if I should live or die
  7   7    7  -7  7  -6     6   -6    6  
Time and time a-gain the chance for love 
-4     6   -5  5
has passed me by
-4  -3  5   3   3  5
And all I know of love 
3  -3  5   -6   -7   7  6
is how to live with-out it
-4  6   -6     6  -5   5  -3
I just can't seem to find it

7   7    7   7   -7   7
So I've made my mind up
-6 -7    7  -6   6  7  -5
I must live my life a-lone
 3   7    7    7   7  -7  7 -6
And tho’ it's not the eas-y way
-7  7    -6  6   7    -5
I guess I've al-ways known

 3  -3   -4  -5  5*   5
I'd say good-bye to love
  3*  -3  6 -5* -5   -5
There are no to-mor-rows 
 6   -6    7   6   7
for this heart of mine
  7   7   7   -7    7
Sure-ly time will lose 
 -6    6  -6   6   -4
these bit-ter mem-ries
 6   -5    5   -4   -3
And I'll find that there 
5    3   3  5  3   -3   5
is some-one to be-lieve in
-6  -7   7   6   6    -6   6   -5    5  -3
And to live for some-thing I could live for

 7   7    7   7  -7    7    -6
All the years of use-less search
 -7  7    -6     6    7  -5
Have fi-n’lly reached an end
  7  7   7    7  -7  7   -6
Lone-li-ness and emp-ty days 
 -7  7  -6  6  7   -5  
will be my on-ly friend
  5   -5   6   6   6  -7   7   6
From this day love is for-got-ten
-5   6  -6 -6  -6  7* 7
I'll go on as best I can

  7    7   7  7  -7  7  
What lies in the fu-ture 
-6-7  7   -6  6  7  -5
is a mys-t’ry to us all
7   7   7   7   -7
No one can pre-dict 
 7    -6  -7  7   -6  6  7   -5
the wheel of for-tune as it falls

Key: D

  -7  -7   -7 -7  -8   -7
There may come a time when 
7  -8  -7   7   -6*   -7    6
I will see that I've been wrong
-5   6  -6* -6* -6* -7  6
But for now this is my song

-3   -4   5*   6 -5*  -5
And it's good-bye to love
 -3  -4   5*   6 -5*  -5
I'll say good-bye to love

| ~…|-7  -7  |-7 7-6*7  |7  -6*  |-8  -7  |
    Ah……
|-7  -7  |-7 7-6*7  |7  -6*  |-5 6 -6* |
 Ah……
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
