[Intro]
| G | G | D | F# |
| Em | E7 | D | D |

[Verse 1]
             G       D7
You say that you are leaving
     G            D/A
That soon we two, must part
  Em        G          D    B7
I know that you, can't mean it
    E7                  A7
For that would break my heart
    Em    B7       Em
And after all, you know
  E7              A
I really love you so

[Chorus]
        D       B7        E
For the sake of days gone by, dear
A7             D
Let us start a new
G                  D       B7
Let's be friends until the end
E7                    A7
Like true sweethearts do
D         B7       E
Though we may have quarrelled
A                    F#7
Please don't say goodbye
G            D                  F#7
Shake hands, then kiss and make up
        Em      E7   D/A
For the sake of days gone by

[Break]
| D | A7 | D | D |
(yodel)

[Verse 2]
              G         D7
Why should we spoil our romance?
       G          D/A
That's lasted all these years
G                   D
Parting brings only sadness
  E7            A7
Unhappiness and tears
  Em       B7        Em
I need you more each day
   E7               A
So please don't go away

[Chorus]
        D       B7        E
For the sake of days gone by, dear
A7             D
Let us start a new
G                  D       B7
Let's be friends until the end
E7                    A7
Like true sweethearts do
D         B7       E7
Though we may have quarrelled
A7                   F#7
Please don't say goodbye
G            D                  F#7
Shake hands, then kiss and make up
        Em      E7   D/A
For the sake of days gone by
