So Long, Baby, Goodbye

by Dave Alvin

The Blasters, "The Blasters", Slash Records, 1981, "The Blasters

Collection", Slash Records, 1990

The intro and between-verse parts are harmonica, but if you want to play

them on guitar they go something like

or something similar in Em pentatonic

I know, I've been foolin' myself too long

Never right but always wrong

Goodbye, baby, so long

You know, you never let this thing catch on,

You never let me be that strong,

Goodbye, baby, so long

There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met,

The leaves fell from the trees

You made a lot of promises I ain't seen yet

I ain't gonna ask you please

You know, none of us are gonna cry,

It wasn't even worth the try,

So long, baby, goodbye

There was a cold wind blowin' on the night we met

Windows were rolled up tight

We both asked for something we could never get

Now I'll do the thing that's right

We know, none of us are gonna cry

It wasn't even worth a try

So long, baby, goodbye
