C                 G 
tidal waves don't beg forgiveness 
C                   G 
crash, then on their way 
C            G 
father, he enjoyed collisions 
Am             G 
others walked away 
Am                    G 
the snowflake falls in may 
       Dm 
and the doors are open now 
       Am 
as the bells are ringing out 
       F 
cuz the man of the hour 
        G 
has taken his final bow 
            C 
goodbye for now

C             G 
nature has its own religion 
C               G 
gospel from the land 
C               G 
father ruled by long division 
Am                 G 
young men, they pretend 
Am            G 
old men comprehend 
        Dm 
and the sky breaks at dawn 
         Am              C 
shedding light upon this town 
       D 
we all come 'round 
        F 
cuz the man of the hour 
         G 
has taken his final bow 
            C 
goodbye for now

and the road, the old man paved 
           C               D 
the broken seams along the way 
           F                     E 
the rusted signs, they're just for me 
       Am          C            D 
he was guiding me, love, his own way  
        F 
now the man of the hour 
          G 
has taken his final bow 
      F 
as the curtain comes down 
       G 
i feel that this is just 
            C 
goodbye for now
