C   Em7  Fmaj9
Goodbye, Mrs. Sorrow
C            Em7     Fmaj7    Fm     Em7
Hope you're feelin' better tomorrow night
          Am Am7 D7
Don't put up  a  fight
      C#maj7     C  Dm/C  C  G
It'll do you no good

Hello, Uncle Freedom,
I've seen them down on their knees for you
Nothing they wouldn't do to have you along

Chorus:
   C             F
I got too many problems
      C                F
They just don't understand
      D7                G             G#maj7 A#
They think their every wish is my command

Oh no, Sister Susie,
you're in a win or lose affair
Wish I could be there to help you along

Oh yes, Brother Michael,
we all have every faith in you
And everything you do, all the way 'round

Chorus

  Goodbye, goodbye
C     Em7      Fmaj9
  Goodbye, goodbye
C     Em7      Fmaj9
  Goodbye, goodbye

  Goodbye, goodbye
C     Em7      Fmaj9
  Goodbye, goodbye
C     Em7      Fmaj9
  Goodbye, goodbye
