Artist: Colin Hay
[A]I didn't love you till you'd [C#m]gone
[D]You told me not to give my [Bm]heart aw[E]ay
[A]You were right and I was [C#m]wrong
[D]I should have known, I couldn't [Bm]make you [E]stay
[Bm] [E]
[A]I bless the day you were [C#m]born
[D]I curse the day you saw [Bm]into [E]me
[A]You said my eyes were so for[C#m]lorn
[D]Now when I'm alone I let my [Bm]tears run [E]free
They flow so [Bm]eas[E]y, [Bm]easi[E]ly [F#m]
So [A]good[C#m]bye [Bm]my [E]red [A]rose
Your [D]mem[C#m]ory [Bm] [A]won't f[E]ade aw[Bm]ay
[A]When [C#m]the [Bm]curta[E]in [A]falls
We [D]know [C#m]you [Bm]won't [A]be [E]back for [Bm]more
I wonder where you hang your clothes
But on this I never dwell too long
I asked around but no one knows
I should have known that would be your way
Not to, not to say
So goodbye my red rose
In the spring your scent will grow
There's no more curtain calls
And the man has put all the chairs away
So goodbye my red rose
There's no more, no more curtain calls
[D]You told me not to give my [Bm]heart aw[E]ay
[A]You were right and I was [C#m]wrong
[D]I should have known, I couldn't [Bm]make you [E]stay
[Bm] [E]
[A]I bless the day you were [C#m]born
[D]I curse the day you saw [Bm]into [E]me
[A]You said my eyes were so for[C#m]lorn
[D]Now when I'm alone I let my [Bm]tears run [E]free
They flow so [Bm]eas[E]y, [Bm]easi[E]ly [F#m]
So [A]good[C#m]bye [Bm]my [E]red [A]rose
Your [D]mem[C#m]ory [Bm] [A]won't f[E]ade aw[Bm]ay
[A]When [C#m]the [Bm]curta[E]in [A]falls
We [D]know [C#m]you [Bm]won't [A]be [E]back for [Bm]more
I wonder where you hang your clothes
But on this I never dwell too long
I asked around but no one knows
I should have known that would be your way
Not to, not to say
So goodbye my red rose
In the spring your scent will grow
There's no more curtain calls
And the man has put all the chairs away
So goodbye my red rose
There's no more, no more curtain calls
