Diatonic Harmonica Tabs

3   -3b  -3  -4  -4   4  
I'll say good bye to love
 3 -3   5  5   -4  -4 5   -5    6   5   6   
No one ev-er cared if I should live or die
  6   6   6   -6  6  -5   5    -5   
Time and time again the chance for
  5  -3    5    -4 4    -3 -3b 4   3  3    
Love has passed me by, and all I know of
  4   3 -3b  4  -5   -6   6  5
Love is how to live with-out it
-3   5   -5     5  -4   4  -3b 
 I just can't seem to find it

 6   6    6  6   -6   6    
So I've made my mind up 
-5  -6    6  -5  5   6  -4 
 I must live my life a-lone
 3   6    6    6   6  -6 6  -5
And tho' it's not the easy way
-6   6    -5   5   6   -4 
 I guess I've always known
  3 -3b  -3  -4  -4   4
I'd say good-bye to love
  3   -3   5  5  -4  -4 
There are no to-mor-rows 
 5   -5    6    5   6
For this heart of mine
 6   6    6   -6    6   -5
Sure-ly time will lose these
 5 -5    5  -3   5   -4    4   -3
Bitter mem'ries and I'll find that
 -3b   4   3   3  4   3  -3   4
There is some-one to believe in
 -5 -6  6    5   
And to live for
 5     -5  5   -4    4  -3b    
Some-thing I could live for

 6   6    6    6  -6  6   -5
All the years of useless search
 -6    6   -5    5    6  -4 
Have  fin'lly reached an end
 6  6   6   6  -6 6   -5
Loneliness and empty days
 6   6  -5  5  6   -4 
Will be my on-ly friend
  4   -4   5    5   5 -6   6   5  
From this day love is for-got-ten
 -4  5  -5 -5  -5  -6  6
I'll go on as best I can

Big Guitar solo goes here !!
Followed by..........

  6    6   6  6   -6  6
What lies in the future 
-5 -6  6   -5  5  6  -4
Is a  mys'tr'y to us all
 6  6   6   6  -6   6   -5
No one can predict the wheel
-6  6  -5   5  6   -4
Of fortune as it falls
 -6   -6   -6  -6  -7 
There may come a time
 -6  6  -7  -6    6   -5   -6    5 
When I will see that I've been wrong
 -4  5   -5  -5  -5  -6  5  
But for now this is my song

-3b  -3    4   5   5  -4 
And It's good-bye to love
-3b  -3    4   5   5  -4  
I'll say good-bye to love......
