I Wave Bye Bye


Key of Bb (as recorded. Play as if in G with 3 
Capo on the 3rd Fret. 
Jesse plays the song in A on his YouTube recordings, using no capo. But this way you can  
more easily raise or lower the key to suit your own voice.  

Intro: Am7 - Bm7 - C - D 

verse 1 
G                        Em 
Just out in the harbour, all the ships asleep 
Am                       C              D 
Maybe one cold watchman, walks a lonely beat 
    G                       Em 
And way out on the water, a ship is under sail 
Am                            C              D 
Leaving wavy starlight, and a dreamer in her trail 


  G        Em     Am        D 
I wave bye bye, I pray, God speed 
     G            Em            Am            D 
Oh I wish, lovely weather, more luck than you need 
       G    Bm7     Am7      C                     Am7   D 
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry 
    G        Bm7  G         Em7 Am7         D        G 
No, I'll see you, again one day, and then I wave bye bye 

verse 2 
    G                        Em 
The sailing ship reminds me, of a certain girl 
    Am                         C             D 
Who left a certain dreamer, to sail into the world 
     G                              Em 
I've very friendly post-cards, from very far away 
Am                       C            D 
But they just remind me, of a certain day 



  G         Em     Am        D 
I wave, bye bye, I pray, God speed 
  G            Em                 Am             D 
I wish, lovely weather, with more luck, than you need 
       G    Bm7     Am7      C                     Am7  D 
You'll only sail in circles, so there's no need to cry 
   G         Bm7  G         Em7  Am7    D         G 
No I'll, see you, again one day, then I waved bye bye 
G 
Bye bye
