GOODBYE TO LOVE

(intro)
- – - – - – - – G Em Am D
1. I’ll say goodbye to love, no one ever cared
G Bm C D
if I should live or die, time and time again
B7 Em
the chance for love has passed me by,
C G Am G
and all I know of love is how to live without it,
B7 Em – A
I just can’t seem to find it.

G Am G Am
So I’ve made my mind up I must live my life alone,
G Am G Am
and though it’s not the easy way, I guess I’ve always known ….

G Em Am D
2. I’d say goodbye to love, there are no tomorrows
G Bm C D
for this heart of mine, surely time will lose
B7 Em
these bitter memories, and I’ll find that
C G Am G
there is someone to believe in and to live for,
B7 Em – A
something I could live for.

G a G a
All the years of useless search have finally reached an end,
G a G a
loneliness and empty days will be my only friend,
C E a D – e
from this day love is forgotten, I’ll go on as best I can.

G Am G D
What lies in the future is a mystery to us all,
G Am G D
no one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls.
A Bm A D
There may come a time when I will see that I’ve been wrong,
A D
but for now this is my song.
A – E
And it’s goodbye to love.
A – E
I’ll say goodbye to love…………

I’m wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight,

and every road that takes him takes him down,

and by himself, it’s easy to pretend, he’ll never love again.

And keeping to himself he plays the game,

without her love it always ends the same,

while life goes on around him everywhere, he’s playing Solitaire.

there is wonder in most everything I see,
C D Bm E
not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes,

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE
C Em
1. When I was young I’d listen to the radio,
Am C F
waitin’ for my favorite songs,
Dm Em Dm – G
when they played I’d sing along, it made me smile.
C Em
Those were such happy times and not so long ago,
Am C F
how I wondered where they’d gone.
E Am C Am
But they’re back again just like a long lost friend,
F Dm G
all the songs I loved so well.

G7 C Am C – Am
Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,
C Am Dm – G
every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they’re startin’ to sing’s so fine.
Am C Am
When they get to the part where he’s breakin’ her heart,
C Am – - – - – - – C – Am
it can really make me cry, just like before,
F C F – C F
it’s yesterday once more (shoobidoo-lylay, shoobidoo-lylay).

C Em
2. Lookin’ back on how it was in years gone by,
Am C F
and the good times that I had,
Dm Em Dm – G
makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed.
C Em
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
Am C F
and I’d memorize each word,

E Am C Am
those old melodies still sound so good to me,
F Dm G
as they melt the years away.

Every sha-la-la-la, every wo-o-wo-o still shines,

    Lyrics and Chords

    There’ll be no strings to bind your hands
    Not if my love can’t bind your heart
    And there’s no need to take a stand
    For it was I who chose to start
    I see no need to take me home
    I’m old enough to face the dawn

    / G C D CD / / / / Am Em D – / Am Em D CD /

    {Refrain}
    Just call me angel of the morning, angel
    Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
    Just call me angel of the morning, angel

    / G C D CD / / /

    Then slowly turn away from me

    / C – - – G C D CD /

    Maybe the sun’s light will be dim
    And it won’t matter anyhow
    If morning’s echo says we’ve sinned
    Well, it was what I wanted now
    And if we’re victims of the night
    I won’t be blinded by light

    {Refrain}

    Then slowly turn away
    I won’t beg you to stay with me
    Through the tears of the day
    Of the years, baby baby

    / C – - – / C – - – G – - – / / C – D CD /

    Just call me angel of the morning, angel
    Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
    {Repeat to fade}

    JUICE NEWTON VERSION:

    Angel of the Morning
    Juice Newton

    Capo on 1

    G C D C G C D C G
    There’ll be no strings to bind your hands not if my love can’t bind your heart.
    C D C G C D C Bm Am
    And there’s no need to take a stand for it was I who chose to start.
    Am C D Am C D G
    I see no need to take me home, I’m old enough to face the dawn.
    C D C D G
    Just call me angel of the morning an-gel
    C D C D G
    just touch my cheek before you leave me, ba-by.
    C D C D C
    Just call me angel of the morning an-gel
    G C D C G
    then slowly turn away from me.

    Maybe the sun’s light will be dim and it won’t matter anyhow.
    If morning’s echo says we ve sinned, well, it was what I wanted now.
    And if we’re the victims of the night, I won’t be blinded by light.

    Just call me angel of the morning angel
    just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
    Just call me angel of the morning angel
    then slowly turn away, I won’t beg you to stay with me
    through the tears of the day, of the years, baby baby baby.
    Just call me angel of the morning angel
    just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby.
