simplified!)
Intro:
G-Am-Gmaj7-Am*-G-Am-Gmaj7-Am*
G
Well it's two miles
east to west
Am
Only four miles north to
south
Gmaj7
And when you pass the only
red light
Am*
You will see the pastor's
house
G
People look you in the eye
Am
And they smile at you and
wave
Gmaj7
Yeah they always take the
time
Am*
To stop
and ask you "How's your day?"
C D
It's hard to say goodnight
Am D
'Cause baby it's a good
life
At the high school football game
Is where I got my first kiss
I still feel the butterflies
I still taste it on my lips
Then we lost our Uncle Jake
Back in 1983
We heard Daddy upstairs weeping
So we cried ourselves to sleep
It's hard to say goodnight
'Cause baby it's a good life
G
Gmaj7 Am* D
Goodbye to memories that I've saved
G
Gmaj7 Am* D
Goodbye to all the friends I made
G
Gmaj7 Am* D
C D
Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
(No chords) G
Small town Jeri-cho
Em C
And every road here looks the same
Em C
This old town won't ever
change
D
That's what I love the
most
C D
G
And it's the reason I must
go
I put boxes on the porch
Daddy puts them in the car
Best to get the loading done
Won't be easy in the dark
'Cause I'm leaving after midnight
And if anyone asks why
I want to wait 'til mama's sleeping
'Cause I can't bear to see her cry
It's hard to say goodnight
'Cause baby it's a good life
Goodbye to memories that I've saved
Goodbye to all the friends I made
Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
Small town Jericho
Goodbye
