Goodbye, for now, my friend 
    F            G7         C   C7 
How soon we have come to an end 
        F 
In this short stretch of time 
      Am              F 
We've shared this ol' ride 
           C           G7          C 
And I sure do hope, to see you, again 
 

 
     C             G7                C   C7 
In a way, this ol' world has been cruel 
     F                                       C   C7 
Like raindrops, tears are fallin' to form a pool 
        F                               C 
And you try, and you try, still there's no escapin' from 
          D7                          G   G7 
Days gone by, the hardest, I think of you 
 

 
  F              C                  G 
Oh, but easy now, and onward bound 
             G7   C                C7 
There lies ahead, things to be found 
F          G                C      A7 
Across the blistering white ivory sand 
F           G          C 
Beyond, the Blue Ridge line

     C           G7         C    C7 
Some days I just wanna disappear 
     F                       C 
Come back in the mornin', smellin' of smoke and beer 
     F                                 C 
Ride off in the saddle on a horse named "see you next year" 
    D7                      G    G7 
And kiss all my worries goodbye 
 

 
   F                       Fm 
Oh, and it's all you can do, and all you can say 
         C           E7                Am 
Is, "I'm done, we'll never make it out alive" 
F                      Fm 
You better shoulder it, or get over it 
             G                                 G7 
'Cause honey, ain't we been there a few dozen times 
 

 
  F          Fm       C 
Oh, but easy now, and onward bound 
      G       G7      C           C7 
There lies ahead, things to be found 
F          G                C        A7 
Across the blisterin' white ivory sands 
F            G       E7   Am 
Beyond, the Blue Ridge line 
     F                    G          C    F C 
It's somewhere beyond, the Blue Ridge line
