The Hollies


Tom: G

INTRO: D   C G D   C G D   

                                  C                 G
I woke up in the morning, heard a mockingbird sing
                   D
Was he laughing at me?
                                C                  G
I went to the basin, washed the sleep out my eyes
           D
So I could see


                                    C                G
A note on the bed close to where my lover should be
                        D
She slipped away in the night
                               C                    G
The writing was shaky and with tears on the sheets
                   D
I'm sorry we had a fight


CHORUS:
        C          G          D
So, farewell sweet lover, farewell
    C        G              D
I'm sorry we never said goodbye
        C          G          D
So, farewell sweet lover, farewell
C           G            D       C  G  D
Left with a tear in your eye


                           C        
Must've been brewing for a very long time
       G                        D
In the wardrobe the hangers are bare
                              C             
Don't know how you did it, it must've been planned
    G                        D
You even took your favourite chair


CHORUS:
        C      G         D
So, goodbye my lady, goodbye
    C             G          D
You won't find no tear in my eye
        C      G         D
So, goodbye my lady, goodbye
      C     G            D       G 
Going out tonight to get high


BRIDGE:
                                 G
Found myself at Charlie's scene
             Em           G
Drinking Old Fashioneds
                                             Em
Sticky painted movie queen winked her eye at me

That's how it happened

Diamond shoes, satin dress
 C                  D
[ ? ? ], black eyes flashing, flashing, flashing, flashing


INSTRUMENTAL: D  C  G  D  (4x)


                               C                   G
Woke up in the morning, heard my mockingbird sing
                       D
And he was singing for me
                             C                G
The lady I met last night's, here by my side
                D
She's good company


CHORUS:
         C        G        D
Well, hello sweet lady, hello
     C       G      D
Good morning with a smile
         C        G        D
Well, hello sweet lady, hello
