Chords: C, G7, F

More chords by Daniel Johnston

Genre: indie, folk, lo-fi


A song from The Lost Recordings. Daniel's singing is pretty fluid here, and

I've tried to indicate that here

with the chord changes, which usually occur a little syncopated after an

emphasized word.

[Verse 1]
C G7 F C
I’d like to say goodbye
C G7
You can’t really say goodbye to those kinds of things
F C
You carry them with you wherever you go
C
Like ducks in the snow
G7
That quack as they go
F
The wind blows back
C
Discarded trash

[Verse 2]
C G7 F C
I’d like to say goodbye
C G7
I feel that I must say goodbye to everyone
F
Though I love them so
C
I love them all
C G7
I feel if I said goodbye to them
F C
I could say goodbye to a me I do not like
F C
A horrible nasty me
F C
That I despise

[Verse 3]
C G7 F C
I’d like to say goodbye
C G7
I feel that I must say goodbye to dreams
F C
Empty and hollow though charming they be
C G7
I feel I must say goodbye it seems
F
Maybe I could just sneak out the back door
C
Or say “See ya later!”
F C
And just never come back

[Verse 4]
C G7
But you can’t really say goodbye to those kinds of things
F C
You carry them with you wherever you go
C
Like ducks in the snow
G7
That quack as they go
F
The wind blows back
