Intro 
 
(F5) Tore out a page from my little black book 
Took out her picture, gave it once last look 
Hung a big sign out on the door 
Saying "love don't live around here no more" 
 
(F5) Packed up what was left of my pride 
Topped off the tank for the long hard ride 
Seventeen miles out of Lonelyville 
Yonder came a darlin' in a Coupe de Ville 
 
(Bb7) So long heartache, adios 
(F5) Sorrow - see ya later 
Time to hit the road 
(Bb7) Goodbye pain and misery 
(F5) Hello...(C) L O V (F5) E 
 
Repeat Intro

Hot on the tail of that Cadillac 
Said a little prayer - held my breath 
Sure enough that green light turned to red 
 
(Bb7) So long heartache, adios 
(F5) Sorrow - see ya later 
Time to hit the road 
(Bb7) Goodbye pain and misery 
(F5) Hello...(C) L O V (F5) E
