Tom: A

A                                  A7               D
I've made a small fortune and you've squandered it all.
                     A     A7            E
You shamed me 'til I feel about one inch tall.
      A                         A7              D
But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change,
                A         E      A
So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain.

[Verse 2]
A                         A7         D
Now you come to me with a simple goodbye.
                   A                A7            E
You tell me you're leavin', but you don't tell me why.
          A                              A7      D
Now we're here at the station and you're getting on,
              A
And all I can think of is,
              E                A
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.

[Chorus 1]
                               D
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.
                                         E
I didn't know how much longer I could go on.

[Bridge 1]
A                      A7            A
Watching you take the respect out of me,
D                         A            E
Watching you make a total wreck out of me.
     A                   D          A
That big diesel motor is playing my song,
              E                A
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.

[Chorus 2]
                                   D 
Oh, Thank God and Greyhound you're gone,
                                             E
The load on my mind got lighter when you got on.

[Bridge 2]
     A                  A7        A
That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight,
         D                       A              E
With the black smoke rolling up around the tail lights.
   A                                    D          A
It may sound kinda cruel, but I've been silent too long.
              E                A
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.
              E                A
Thank God and Greyhound you're gone.
