From "Highway" (2004)

Tab By: Larry Mofle (rmofle@satx.rr.com - 5/21/2005)

Capo: 2nd Fret

[G]Summer came and [D]days grew long
[C]Lilacs bloomed 'round [G]Meulfront pond 
[G]First place I [D]ever held his [C]hand  [D]
[G]Timeless walks and [D]breathless nights
Went [C]rushing past like [G]geese in flight
I was [C]prayin' it was [D]never gonna [G]end
Then the [C]autumn leaves were blazin' like the [Em]fireworks in July 
And [C]for a fleeting moment, that [Em]flame was in his eyes 
But as [C]quickly as the colors came [Am]They burned out of the [D]sky

CHORUS:
Good[C]bye, [D] Adi[G]os
See you [C]later [D]I gotta [G]go
[C]I've been [D]holding on too [Em]long  [Am]
[C]  This is [D]my leaving [G]song

[G]I'll take one last [D]look around 
[C]Pull up roots that [G]I put down 
[G]Drive across that [D]Hastings County [C]line  [D]
[G]I'll trade a part of [D]who I was
For a [C]future I'm not [G]certain of 
But I'll [C]keep the best of [D]what I leave be[G]hind
Oh I'll [C]miss those Sunday mornings and those [Em]Friday football games 
A [C]peace that comes from knowing some [Em]places never change 
That's the [C]reason that I'll miss it [Am] and the reason I can't [D]stay

CHORUS (x2)

[C]This is [D]my leaving [G]song
