Version 1 Version 2
            Just thought I'd put up John Denver's Goodbye Again. The other version is close, but its 
missing some crucial chords.
VERSE
      G    G/F#        Em               C             G
It's five o'clock this morning, and the sun is on the rise
        G        G/F#   Em               C              D7
There's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes
    G         G/F#   Em           C               G
The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone
     G     G/F# Em                C              D7
And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come
CHORUS
            Am      D7      G     G/F#  Em
And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am         D7  G         G/F#   Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
         Am     D7        G    G/F#      Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
    Am                                D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
VERSE 2
G          G/F#     Em                 C                 G
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm
  G       G/F#   Em             C              D7
I long to lay me down again, to hold you in my arms
  G       G/F#     Em         C                   G
I long to kiss the tears away, give you back your smile
    G     G/F#   Em             C            D7
But other voices beckon me, and for a little while
CHORUS
        Am      D7      G     G/F#  Em
It's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am         D7  G         G/F#   Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
         Am     D7        G    G/F#      Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
    Am                                D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
BRIDGE
          Bm              C                G         G/F#    Em
I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know
Am                 D7            G
Some who aren't familiar with my name,
     Bm                 C              G       G/F#  Em
It's something that's inside of me not hard to understand
       Am       C             D7
It’s anyone who listens to me sing
VERSE 3
G           G/F#      Em         C           G
And if your hours are empty now, who am I to blame
    G        G/F#   Em               C                 D7
You think if I were always here, our love would be the same?
G     G/F#   Em            C                   G
As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone
    G     G/F#    Em                 C               D7
And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known
CHORUS
            Am      D7          G     G/F#  Em
But it's goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leavin' you
Am         D7  G         G/F#   Em
Goodbye again, as if you didn't know
         Am     D7        G    G/F#      Em
It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me
    Am                                D7
Why do we always fight when I have to go
