DAE
AD Fare thee well my brother
E please don't stand in my way
AE I'm going down to that dirty town
AE no matter what you say
AD You fooled me and you ruled me
AE and you played in every part
DEA I gotta go,.... it's no use me stayin' home
AD Goodbye my sister
E please don't let me see you cry
AE Gonna be a star some day
AE no matter what they say
AD And when you hear the crowds
AE all callin' and shouting out my name
DEA until then, my little friend, I'll be unsatisfied
AD So long sweet Melinda
E don't forget that you're my girl
A Gonna dress you fine
E and if you give me time
AE make you proud like I said I would
AD And if the Champs Elysee's no fallacy
AE If I find the world looks like it should
DA Candy cars, movie stars, street bars
E then I could stay a while
DA Well I love you
DEA Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
DAE and I'll miss you all
DAE even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back
AD Farewell all my family
E don't you know I mean you so well
AE Please appreciate I must make a break
AE just to see what I can do
AD The stage is set so understand
AE I can't hide in the wings no more
DEA got to go now it's no use me staying home
 [Chorus 2]
DA All I can say is I love you
DAE Shall I write or phone from Paris or Rome
DAE And I think I'm always gonna miss you
DAE And I love..... you always
DAE I think I'm always gonna miss ya
DAE even tho' you're tryin' to hold me back
DAE And I love..... you and I miss you
DAE If you don't get no mail you know I'm in jail
DAE
