Bobby Jean (video)

G - Bm - C - A7 (2x)

G

1. Well, I came by your house the other day,

Bm

your mother said you went away,

C

she said there was nothing that I could have done,

A7

there was nothing nobody could say.

G Bm

Me and you we’ve known each other ever since we were sixteen,

C

I wished I would have known, I wished I could have called you,

A7 G

just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean.

+ G - Bm - C - A7

G

2. Now you hung with me when all the others

Bm

turned away, turned up their nose,

C

we liked the same music, we liked the same bands,

A7

we liked the same clothes.

G

Yeah, we told each other that we were the wildest,

Bm

the wildest things we’d ever seen,

C

how I wished you would have told me,

I wished I could have talked to you,

- A7 G

just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean.

+ G - Bm - C - A7

C

+ Now we went walking in the rain

Em

talking about the pain that from the world we hid,

C

now there ain’t nobody, nowhere, no,

G D

who gonna ever understand me the way you did.

G

3. Maybe you’ll be out there on that road somewhere

Bm

in some bus or train traveling along,

C

in some motel room you’ll hear a radio playing,

A7

and you’ll hear me sing this song.

G

Well, if you do you’ll know I’m thinking of you,

Bm

and all the miles in between,

C A7

and I’m just calling one last time, not to change your mind,

C D G

but just to say: I miss you, baby, good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean.
