Gethsemani Goodbye

Richard Shindell


Tom: Am

INTRO: Am  F  C  G  Dm    F    Am  F  C  G  Dm

Am F C  G   Dm
I  remember everything
Am  F C    G   Dm   F
How I lost the way
Am  F C   G    Dm
How I went too far 
Am   F   C    G    Dm     G
Down the Bardstown Road


      Am     G        F         G
How I drove around in circles
         Am      G        F     G
'Til the morning slipped away
       F            Am
Headed back to Louisville
               C          F    Am  F  C  G  Dm
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye


Am  F   C   G  Dm
All you really wanted
       Am F   C  G     Dm    F
Was to go see Merton's shed
Am     F C   G       Dm
Stroll around the garden
   Am   F C   G    Dm      G
To pray beside his grave


        Am       G     F          G
But I refused to get directions
             Am      G      F       G
Just kept on driving like a fool
         F            Am
When the Interstate appeared
              C          F     G
We kissed Gethsemani goodbye


BRIDGE:
                         F
It's just straight down 31
                 C
Broadway becomes Main 
                  G
How I missed that turn
             Dm    F
I will never know___


INTERLUDE: F   Am  F  C  G  Dm  F   Am  F  C  G  Dm  


Am F C  G   Dm
I  remember everything
Am  F C   G    Dm   F
How I lost the way
Am  F C   G    Dm
How I went too far 
Am   F   C    G    Dm     G
Down the Bardstown Road


    Am         G      F         G
The friend you always needed
         Am       G       F       G
Would've kept our morning plan
               F            Am
But I drove us back to Louisville
               C          F  
And kissed Gethsemani goodbye
