[Verse 1]
        C
Oh it's so long ago but I still remember
                            G
The time when we were just friends
N.C.
Just two little kids playing in the backyard
                           C
Dreaming about cowboys and Indians
N.C.
And I still recall the day we played football
                          G
And you felt flat on your face
N.C.
What I didn't know
                                                  C       C7
That my tears of laughter would make you feel so ashamed

[Chorus]
   F
So bye bye Eddie
Bye bye my friend
       C                              G
It so long since we talked or made castles of sand
      Dm                     F          G           C
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then

[Verse 2]
        C
When I think at that summer, angry dog in that garden
                            G
I encouraged you to get the ball
N.C.
You came running and screaming
N.C.
When you finally got it
                                   C
You didn't see the little fence at all
N.C.
Then a couple a years later while we playing football
                           G
A neighbor said hear what I've got to say
N.C.
Did you hear the rumor about Eddie's family
                      C   C7
I heard there moving away


[Chorus]
   F
So bye bye Eddie
Bye bye my friend
       C
It so long since we talked or made castles of sand
    Dm                       F          G            C
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then

[Verse 3]
     C
One day I stopped by and I knocked on your front door
                         G
Yeah, I was just fooling around
N.C.
When I looked through the window the furniture left there only some stains on the
 C
ground
     C
One day afternoon, half of year later
                                    G
My mother come to pick me up from school
                                                                  C    C7
And when I looked at her face I could tell that I didn't want the truth
        F
Son he died on vacation there no explanation
     C
I'm sorry to tell you your best friend is gone
         Dm                   F             G               C    C7
And with tears in our eyes we walked to your old house that night
        F
Singing bye bye Eddie bye bye my friend
       C
It so long since we talked and made castles of sand
      Dm                     F           G           C   C7
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then
        F
Singing bye bye Eddie bye bye my friend
       C
It so long since we talked or made castles of sand
    Dm                       F           G           C
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then
     Dm            F      G        C
And maybe one day I will see you again
