G A

[Verse 1]

G         A         F#m        G
  she won our hearts, the arts she loved
G              A           E     G  A
  was painting pictures for free
G         A         F#m        G
  when she was done she hung them up
G              A          E
  for all the children to see


[Chorus]
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady,
          E                    A
it’s been good to have you around,
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady,
              E           Bm7           A
you’ve done a lot for the folks in this town

G  A

[Verse 2]
G                      A
  The children learned to read,
F#m                G
  she strung their beads,
G            A           E   G  A
  it’s sorry she was the one
G        A      F#m     G
  As you can see- isn’t she good
G           A             E
  She don’t leave nothing undone


[Chorus]
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady,
          E       Bm7          A
it’s been good to have you around,
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady,
              E           Bm7           A
you’ve done a lot for the folks in this town


[Verse 3]
G                     A
  She taught them all to love,
F#m       G
  she was their cream
G              A           E  G  A
  and we don’t want her to go
G                 A
  But we all know too well
F#m        G
  she fell in love
G               A            E
 and there’s no stopping her so


[Chorus]
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady,
          E       Bm7          A
it’s been good to have you around,
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady,
              E           Bm7           A
you’ve done a lot for the folks in this town

[Outro]
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady,
E    Bm7       A
Goodbye, April Lady
E
Goodbye
