Intro
(Vintage Electric Piano – 120 bpm)
[Ab] [Ab] [Ab] [Ab]
Verse 1
[Ab] It was an early morning [Abdim7]yesterday.
[Db/Ab] I was up before the [Ab]dawn.
[Ab] And I really have [Abdim7]enjoyed my stay.
[Db/Ab] But I must be moving on.[Ab]
Bridge 1
(+Electric Guitar +Bass +Drums)
Like a [Ab7/Gb]king without a castle.
Like a [Fm7]queen without a throne.
I'm an [Db]early morning lover.
And I [Bbm7]must be moving on.
Verse 2
[Ab](EP + Light Drums)[Ab]
[Ab] Now I believe in [Abdim7]what you say,
[Db/Ab] Is the undisputed truth.[Ab]
[Ab]But I have to have things [Abdim7]my own way,
[Db/Ab] To keep me in my youth.[Ab]
Bridge 2
(+E Guitar +Bass +Organ)
Like a [Ab7/Gb]ship without an anchor.
Like a [Fm7]slave without a chain.
Just [Db]the thought of those sweet ladies,
Sends a[Bbm7] shiver through my veins.
And [Ab]I will go on shining.
[Ab7/Gb]Shining like brand new.
I'll [Db]never look behind me.
My [Bbm7]troubles will be few.

[Ab] Goodbye stranger [Ab7/Gb] it's been nice.
[Db] Hope you find your [Bbm] [Eb7]paradise.
[Ab] Tried to see your [Ab7/Gb] point of view.
[Db] Hope your dreams will[Bbm] all come [Eb7]true.
[Ab] Goodbye Mary, [Ab7/Gb] goodbye Jane.
[Db] Will we ever [Bbm] meet [Eb7]again?
[Ab] Feel no sorrow, [Ab7/Gb] feel no shame.
[Db] Come tomorrow, [Bbm] feel no [Eb7]pain.
Now sweet [Ab]devotion is not for [Ab7/Gb]me.
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane.
Just give me [Db]motion to set me [Bbm]free.[Eb7]
Will we ever meet again?
In the land and the [Ab]ocean far [Ab7/Gb]away,
Feel no sorrow, feel no shame.
It's the life I've [Db]chosen, every [Bbm]day.[Eb7]
Come tomorrow, feel no pain.
So, goodbye [Ab]Mary, goodbye [Ab+/C]Jane.
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane.
Will we [Fm]ever meet [Ab7/Gb]again?
Will we ever meet again?
Verse 3
[Ab](EP + Light Drums +E [Ab]Guitar)
[Ab] Now some they do and [Abdim7]some they don't,
[Db/Ab] And some you just can't [Ab]tell.
[Ab] And some they will and [Abdim7]some they won't.
[Db/Ab] For some it's just as [Ab]well.
Bridge 3
(+Bass +Organ)
You can [Ab7/Gb]laugh at my behaviour.
That'll [Fm7]never bother me.
Say the [Db]Devil is my saviour.
But [Bbm7]I don't pay no heed.
And [Ab]I will go on shining.
[Ab7/Gb]Shining like brand new.
I'll [Db]never look behind me.
My [Bbm7]troubles will be few.
