Say Goodbye

Here's my shot at "Say Goodbye" by Sanctus Real, from their "Fight the Tide"

album. The strum pattern is pretty weird, so I'm not bothering with that.

Their guitar is tuned to D Standard (NOT Drop D), so it won't sound right

if your guitar is in E Standard tuning. A lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs

on the D string on the 2nd fret. The chord-change timing varies in the intro

and verses, as well. First half of intro,chord changes happen on about the

first and fourth beats; second half of intro, chord changes happen on first

and third beats. Listen to the song and I think you'll catch it.

Four harmonic plucks on 5th fret, then:

Verse 1:

So say goodbye 'cause you'll be leaving soon

I know it's hard, and I'll be missing you

I know it's time to say goodbye

I know the road has worn you down

You never broke; you always held your ground

But now it's time to say goodbye

Prechorus:

I know we'll meet again, but I wish it'd never end

You don't mean to make me cry...but it's so hard to say goodbye

Chorus:

Say goodbyyy-yyy-yye; say goodbyyy-yyy-yye

Verse 2:

And though you're gone, I remember now

The time we shared; your words still ring out

You're never far; you're in my heart

Prechorus:

I know we'll meet again, but I wish it'd never end

You don't mean to make me cry...but it's so hard to say goodbye

Chorus:

Say goodbyyy-yyy-yye; say goodbyyy-yyy-yye

Prechorus:

I know we'll meet again, but I wish it'd never end

You don't mean to make me cry...but it's so hard...

End:

Someday we'll meet again, 'cause that's how the story ends

It's so hard to say goodbye

Say goodbye
