So long farewell (Listen to midi)

G D G D

There's a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall,

G D G - D

and the bells in the steeple, too.

G D G D

And up in the nursery an absurd little bird

G D G D - G D

is popping out to say "coocoo", “coocoo”, coocoo !

D G

Regretfully they tell us, but firmly they compel us

Am - D G

to say goodbye to you.

G

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, good night,

- D - G ~

I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.

G

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, adieu,

- D - G ~

adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu.

G

So long, farewell, au'voir, auf wiedersehn,

- D - G ~

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

G

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye,

D - G

I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye, good bye!

G

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

- D - G - D

I flit, I float, I fleetly flee, I fly.

G D G D

The sun has gone to bed and so must I,

Em G Am D

so long, farewell, auf wiedersehn, goodbye.

Am D G

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye ! Goodbye.
