[Chorus]
C F
And you know the sun's settin' fast
C G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C F
Go on now and kiss it goodbye
C G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C F C G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C F C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
G C
On our town, goodnight -- Start Strumming on goodnight
[Bridge]

[Verse 1]
C F
And down the street beside the red neon light
C G
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night
C F
She was 'the tender and I ordered a beer
C G
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here
[Chorus]
C F
But you know the sun's settin' fast
C G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C F
So go on now and kiss it goodbye
C G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C F C G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C F C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
G C
On our town, goodnight
[Bridge]

[Verse 2]
C F
It's there I had my babies and I had my first kiss
C G
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist
C F
Over there is where I bought my first car
C G
It turned over once and then it never went far
[Chorus]
C F
And I can see the sun's settin' fast
C G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C F
So go on now and kiss it goodbye
C G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C F C G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C F C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
G C
On our town, goodnight
[Bridge]
C F C G
C F C G
[Verse 3]
C F
I buried my mama and I buried my pa
C G
They sleep up the street besides a pretty brick wall
C F
I bring 'em flowers about every day
C G
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say
[Chorus]
C F
If they could see the sun settin' fast
C G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C F
So go on now and kiss it goodbye
C G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C F C G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C F C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
G C
On our town, goodnight
[Bridge]
C F C G
C F C G
[Verse 4]
C F
Now I sit on the porch and I watch the lightning bugs fly
C G
But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes
C F
I'm leaving tomorrow, but I don't wanna go
C G
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul
[Chorus]
C F
But I can see the sun's settin' fast
C G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C F
So go on, now, I'll kiss it goodbye
C G
And hold to my lover 'cause my heart's bound to die
C F C G
Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town
C F C
And I can see the sun setting down on my town
G C
On my town, goodnight
