[Chorus]
C                F
And you know the sun's settin' fast
    C                           G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C            F
Go on now and kiss it goodbye
         C                 G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C             F                  C        G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C                 F                  C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
   G             C
On our town, goodnight   -- Start Strumming on goodnight

[Verse 1]
C                              F
And down the street beside the red neon light
C                                 G
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night
C                         F
She was 'the tender and I ordered a beer
C                             G
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here


[Chorus]
C                F
But you know the sun's settin' fast
    C                           G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C                F
So go on now and kiss it goodbye
         C                             G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C             F              C            G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C                 F                     C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
   G             C
On our town, goodnight

[Verse 2]
     C                           F
It's there I had my babies and I had my first kiss
     C                              G
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist
C                     F
Over there is where I bought my first car
   C                            G
It turned over once and then it never went far


[Chorus]
C                 F
And I can see the sun's settin' fast
    C                           G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C                F
So go on now and kiss it goodbye
         C                             G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C             F                  C        G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C                 F                     C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
   G             C
On our town, goodnight

[Verse 3]
  C                     F
I buried my mama and I buried my pa
     C                             G
They sleep up the street besides a pretty brick wall
C                   F
I bring 'em flowers about every day
C                           G
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say


[Chorus]
C                     F
If they could see the sun settin' fast
    C                           G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C                F
So go on now and kiss it goodbye
         C                             G
But hold on to your lover, 'cause your heart's bound to die
C             F                  C        G
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
C                 F                     C
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town?
   G             C
On our town, goodnight

[Verse 4]
      C                                F
Now I sit on the porch and I watch the lightning bugs fly
      C                         G
But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes
C                           F
I'm leaving tomorrow, but I don't wanna go
  C                                G
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul


[Chorus]
C                 F
But I can see the sun's settin' fast
    C                           G
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
C                   F
So go on, now, I'll kiss it goodbye
         C                     G
And hold to my lover 'cause my heart's bound to die
C             F              C           G
Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town
C                 F                   C
And I can see the sun setting down on my town
   G            C
On my town, goodnight
