Hello Goodbye

Intro: B

B           E               B
Young James McGill was born alive
B           E                F#
The doctors rescuing him with knives
B             E               B
But his young mother went and died,
E            B  E               B
James he cried, his first goodbye
E            B  E        F#
James he cried, Hello Goodbye
E         B            F#  B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo

B          E              B
A doctor came with a blue zeal
B            E         F#
then diagnosed the boy surreal
B               E              B
They sealed him in a room of steel
E               B  E             B
To seal the world, to heal the boy
E            B     E       F#
He would no longer have to feel
E         B            F#  B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo

B           E                   B
So built a fortress in his manger
B             E           F#
So made a sun made out of paper
E                B    E            B
So forged a friend of wind and vapor
Continues after the ad
E            B   E               
Oh come on James for godness sake, 
F#
oh
E         B            F#  B E
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo-oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo
         B            F#     B


E                 B         F#  
From a spark to a flame to a 
         B
fire in the rain
E               B               
To a smolder in sky that brings 
F#           B
tear to your eyes
E                       B        
That will stream to the sea, that
      F#          B
 will burn in the light
E                     B          
That will lift to the clouds what
      F#            B
 will rain when you die
E         B         F#   
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadada 
    B
Ladadada
E         B         F#   
Ladadada, Ladadada, Ladadada

Then one day,
B
Then one day,
B            E            B
Then one day old James he died
B              E             
His cold heart still his body's 
      F#
white
B            E              B
But still he rose up to the sky
E             B
He rolled his eyes
E        B
Began to cry
E           B  E         F#
Hello Goodbye was just a lie
E         B            F#  B
oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-oo-o-oo-ooo

B               E                
Dear god I hope that the last 
    B
part's true
B                E         F#
For as this song is nearly through
B             E                B
One thing for sure can't be the 
night
E                 B
This song will end
E     B

E                 B         F#  
From a spark to a flame to a

tear to your eyes
E                   B
