A7                            D
I've heard people say they've come for miles
   A7               D
To pay their due respects
     A7             D
(for mileage, each expects).
   A7                      D
"A pillar of community and style".
    A7              D
"At heart, a family man
      Em               F#m Em
Who'd had a change of plan".

[Chorus]
D       F#m    G    D
Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley,
G      D         G           D
Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel
F#m    G       D
For my own farewell
F#m    Bm        F#m        A7   D
And if you don't show, that's fine.

A7                              D
What's it say about me that I'm bored?
A7                 D
Don't need another speech
A7                 D
To know I'm out of reach.
A7                            D
Someone made a joke about the lord
A7               D
And somehow it relates
     Em               F#m
To a dash between the dates.

[Chorus]
D       F#m    G    D
Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley,
G      D         G           D
Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel
F#m    G       D
For my own farewell
F#m    G          A7          D
And if you don't show, that's fine.

[Bridge]
          G            Em
I don't expect you to.
                  Bm    B7    Em
You've got other things to do
     G      Bm       D      Bm    D      Em A7 Em
In a life I now know that I never really knew.

    A7                                  D
The lights are going out. They shut the lid.
  F#m              D
I guess I lost the thread.
    Em         F#m
I'm in over my head.

[Chorus]
D       F#m    G    D
Goodbye Sally, Simi Valley,
G  F#m D         G           D
Denton Road, The Roosevelt Hotel
F#m    G       D
For my own farewell
  F#m  G          A7           D
And if you don't show, that's fine.
       G       D
For my own farewell
F#m    G         A7           D
And if you don't show, that's fine
