Tom: C
C
[Verse 1]
C
Oh it's so long ago but I still remember
G
The time when we were just friends
N.C.
Just two little kids playing in the backyard
C
Dreaming about cowboys and Indians
N.C.
And I still recall the day we played football
G
And you felt flat on your face
N.C.
What I didn't know
C C7
That my tears of laughter would make you feel so ashamed
[Chorus]
F
So bye bye Eddie
Bye bye my friend
C G
It so long since we talked or made castles of sand
Dm F G C
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then
[Verse 2]
C
When I think at that summer, angry dog in that garden
G
I encouraged you to get the ball
N.C.
You came running and screaming
N.C.
When you finally got it
C
You didn't see the little fence at all
N.C.
Then a couple a years later while we playing football
G
A neighbor said hear what I've got to say
N.C.
Did you hear the rumor about Eddie's family
C C7
I heard there moving away
[Chorus]
F
So bye bye Eddie
Bye bye my friend
C
It so long since we talked or made castles of sand
Dm F G C
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then
[Verse 3]
C
One day I stopped by and I knocked on your front door
G
Yeah, I was just fooling around
N.C.
When I looked through the window the furniture left there only some stains on the
C
ground
C
One day afternoon, half of year later
G
My mother come to pick me up from school
C C7
And when I looked at her face I could tell that I didn't want the truth
F
Son he died on vacation there no explanation
C
I'm sorry to tell you your best friend is gone
Dm F G C C7
And with tears in our eyes we walked to your old house that night
F
Singing bye bye Eddie bye bye my friend
C
It so long since we talked and made castles of sand
Dm F G C C7
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then
F
Singing bye bye Eddie bye bye my friend
C
It so long since we talked or made castles of sand
Dm F G C
But I won't forget you cause I think of you now and then
Dm F G C
And maybe one day I will see you again
