INTRO: [F]No [Am][F]borderline, no [Am]borderline...
[F] [Am] [F] [Am] [F] [Am] [F] [Am]
[C] [Dm] [G] [C] [Dm] [G7] [C]
Took a boat over [F]Lake [G]Geneva
[Am]It was [Em/G]raining [Dm7]all night [G]long[F]
We were [D/F#]lucky and we [E/Ab]saw no [Am]enemy
And [F]came from [C]Switzerland, [F]poor [C]refugees
[F]Far from the [C]guns of [G]war
We [F]said [G]goodbye to it [C][Dm]all[G7]
[C]They brought us in to a [F]nurse's [G]station
[Am]Half a [Em/G]mile [Dm7]behind the [G]lines[F]
Oh [D/F#]Lord, how my [E/Ab]heart was [Am]breaking
To [F]see the [C]children, and the [F]walking [C]wounded
[F]Hoping for a [C]ticket [G]home
And [F]say [G]goodbye to it [C][Dm]all[G7]
[C]I woke up on a [F]cold blue [G]morning
To [Am]see her [Em/G]there, [Dm7]standing right [G]beside me[F]
Long [D/F#]years since I [E/Ab]left her at the [Am]borderline
And [F]how she [C]found me, [F]I'd never [C]know
But [F]we decided [C]there and [G]then
To [F]say [G]goodbye to it [C]all
[G]To [C]it [F]all
Say [C]goodbye [G/C]to [C]it [F/C]all
Say [G][C]goodbye [G/C]to [C]it [F/C]all[G]
[C]Took a train from [F]Paris to the [G]ocean
[Am]Found a [Em/G]small [Dm7]hotel by the [G]coast[F]
As [D/F#]we walked along the [E/Ab]beaches of [Am]Normandy
We [F]came to [C]Juno, [F]Omaha and [C]Gold
And [F]whispered a [C]prayer for the [G]boys
Who [F]said [G]goodbye to it [C][Dm]all[G7]
[C]Now we've got our own [F]place by the [G]water
And [Am]I have a [Em/G]job in the [Dm7]old [G]hotel[F]
She is [D/F#]ready and she's [E/Ab]hoping for a [Am]daughter
Well [F]I don't [C]mind, we've [F]made our [C]choice
We've [F]got all the [C]time in the [G]world
We [F]said [G]goodbye to it [C]all
We [F]said [G]goodbye to it [C]all
[C] [G/C] [C] [F]
[C]'Bye[G/C] to [C]it [F]all
[G]Say [C]goodbye [G/C]to [C]it [F]all
[G]Say [C]goodbye [G/C]to [C]it [F]all
