Roy Orbison - Goodnight: chords

D
My lovely woman child,
             G           D                 Em
I found you out running wild with someone new.
                G       Em          A
You've been untrue, and ev'rybody knows
  A7      D
we're through.

             D       G
But I can't say goodbye to you,
            D         C
no matter what you do.
                G
My heart won't let you go,
             C                D
although I know you go with someone new,
    G
I think of you.

G           C                  F
I think of how you kiss, your tenderness.
     D               G                C    G    C
With all of this, I miss the way you say, good-night

      F
Bittersweet your kisses,
when my heart still misses,
                F7            C C7
the way that things used to be.
        F
But I know you're strong for,
other arms you long for,
                        F7   C  A#
and you can never come back to me
                        A            A#
Not just for yesterday, tonight or tomorrow.

           Dm          C                F    D
Ah, but forever, I'll hear you say goodnight,
F    D
goodnight.
G                 A           G D
Goodnight turned out to be a lie,
G            A             G D
and I can't help it if I cry.
     Em                    A         A7
Goodnight, my love, sleep tight, my love,
 A   D   F D
goodnight.
