Say Goodbye to Hollywood
Billy Joel
Billy Joel
Turnstiles
1976
This is my first Billy Joel song. I picked up
the CD Greatest Hits I & II from Columbia House
and I fell in love with it all over again. So
Here is one of the first acoustic songs I noticed
off it. Hope you play it and enjoy it!
Note: I am tabbing this from a live version. The real version
may have slightly different lyrics.
Chords
INTRO:
C
C
Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
F
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
C
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
F
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard
CHORUS
Dm
Say goodbye to Hollywood
G Am
Say goodbye my baby
F
Say goodbye to Hollywood
G7 C
Say goodbye my baby
Johnny's taking care of things for a while
And his style is so right for troubadours
They got him sitting with his back to the door
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Em
Movin' on is chance
G C
You take anytime you try to stay
G D
Together whoa
C
Say a word out of line
Em C
You'll find that the friends you had are gone
G
Forever
Dm
Forever
SOLO
play verse and chorus chords
BRIDGE
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
CHORUS
then play
C F
with ad-lib until fade
