Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
(Spoken)
E E7 A F#m7
Ah, remember this
B B7 E
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
E E7 A F#m7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
B B7 E
I could have been twelve actually
[Chorus]
E E7 F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B B7 E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E E7 F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B B7 E
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Verse]
E E7 F#m7
Just because I want someone who's kind
B B7 E
With a heart as good and pure as mine
E E7 F#m7
But maybe I am asking far too much
B B7 E
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
[Bridge]
A B
I know you think you're smart, just running around
B B7
and breaking lovers' hearts
[Chorus]
E E7 F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B B7 E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E E7 F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B B7 E
Darling, I would rather let you go

E E7 F#m7
B B7 E
E E7 F#m7
This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
B B7 E
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
[Chorus]
E E7 F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B B7 E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E E7 F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B B7 E
Darling, I would rather let you go
[Outro]
(Repeat and fade chorus chords)
Goodbye, so long
Been a long year

(fade out over last lines)
The "Reprise" version on the 2010 remaster has more of the spoken word part
and some ad-libbed vocals from after the fade on the original release:
All right!
It’s all down to ‘Goodnight Vienna’.
I’d like to say hi to Ringo, Paul and George. How are you?
Everybody back home, in England, what’s cooking?
Darlin’, I would beg on my bended knees.
Baby, you’re so smart, I want permission please.
All the mothers don’t know what they’re doing.
Little by little by little by little,
I need your love so bad it hurts me.
