A surprise 50s-style hit for the Casinos in early 1967 - note the use of

the so-called 'Hendrix' chord (Bb7#9) in the horn arrangement of this

lovely John D. Loudermilk ballad.  --AWR

                       "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye"

                            (John D. Loudermilk)

Intro:

Bb7#9

A   Bbdim   Bm7  E7-9 Bb7#9

/  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

Verse 1:

Amaj7        F#m            Bm7     E7-9    Bb7#9

Kiss me each morning for a million years

Amaj7         F#m             Bm7   E7-9

Hold me each evening by your side

Amaj7          F#m            Bm7     E7-9

Tell me you'll love me for a million years

A                 D

Then if it don't work out

A                 D

Then if it don't work out

A             D               E   Bb7#9

Then you can tell me goodbye

Verse 2:

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss

Soften my dreams with your sighs

Tell me you'll love me for a million years

Then if it don't work out

Then if it don't work out

              D               A   [after organ solo: A7, to bridge]

Then you can tell me goodbye

[organ solo: chords as per verse 2; omit one of the "then if it don't

work out" lines]

Bridge:

D                  A

If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve

B7                        E7            Bb7#9

If you wait a lifetime before you leave

Verse 3:

Then if you must go

Mmm, I won't tell you no

Just so that we can say we tried

Tell me you'll love me for a million years

Then if it don't work out

Then if it don't work out

              D               A [end cold]

Then you can tell me goodbye

-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
