"Goodbye" Lyrics

by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

Original Manuscript on Apple Stationery (1969)

C E min
Please don't wake me up too late
A min
Tomorrow comes
F D min G7
and I will not be late

C E min A min
Late today when it becomes tomorrow
F G7 C
I will leave to go away
G G
Goodbye . . . . goodbye
goodbye my love goodbye.

Leave your flowers at my door
leave them for the ones who stay behind
Songs that lingered on my lips
excite me now
and keep my love in mind
+ linger on my mind

As Recorded by Paul McCartney (Demo 1969)

Please don't wake me up too late
Tomorrow comes and I will not be late
Late today when it becomes tomorrow
I will leave and go away

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye

Songs that lingered on my lips
Excite me now and linger on my mind
Leave your flowers at my door
I leave them for the one who waits behind

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye

Ba da da da ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Bam bam bam bam bam bam
Ba da da da ba ba ba
Bam bam bam bam
Bam bam bam bam bam bam

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye

Far away my lover sings a lonely song
And calls me to his side
Where the sound of lonely drums invites me on
I must be by his side

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye

Goodbye, bye bye



As Released by Mary Hopkin (1969)

Please don't wake me up too late
Tomorrow comes and I will not be late
Late today when it becomes tomorrow
I will leave to go away

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye

Songs that lingered on my lips
Excite me now and linger on my mind
Leave your flowers at my door
I leave them for the one who waits behind

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye

Do do do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye

Far away my lover sings a lonely song
And calls me to his side
When the song of lonely love invites me on
I must go to his side

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye my love, goodbye
