So Long, Farewell

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall and the bells in the steeple too.

And up in the nurs'ry an absurd little bird is popping out to say,

"Coocoo, coocoo, coocoo."

(Dm)Regretfully they tell us, (G)but (C)firmly they compel us to (Dm7)say goodbye

(G9)to (C)you.

(C)So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodnight.

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

(C)So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, adieu.

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.

(C)So long, farewell, au' voir, auf wiedersehn,

I'd like to stay and taste my first champagne.

(C)So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye.

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye,

(G)goodbye.

(C)I'm glad to go, I cannot tell a lie.

I flit, I float, I fleetly flee,

I fly.

(Cmaj7)The (C6)sun has (Cmaj7)gone to (C6)bed and so must (Cmaj7)I.

So (F)long, (C)farewell, auf (F)wiedersehn, (C)goodbye.

(D7)Goodbye. (G7)Goodbye.

(C)Goodbye. (G)(C9)Goodbye.
