C               Em
Said you took a big trip
Am                    C
They said you moved away
Fmaj7            G            C Am
Happened oh so quietly, they say

C                   Em
Should have took a picture
Am                 Em
Something I could keep
F              G                Dm G     Dm G
Buy a little frame, something cheap for you

Chorus:
G              C  Am C Am
Everyone says hi

Said you sailed a big ship
Said you sailed away
Didn't know the right thing to say

I'd love to get a letter
Like to know what's what
Hope the weather's good
And it's not too hot for you

Chorus:
               Dm G
Everyone says hi
               Dm G
Everyone says hi
Everyone says
Dm7              Em
Don't stay in a sad place
            F                  G
Where they don't care how you are,
               C Am C Am
Everyone says hi

D#              Dm
If the money is lousy
Am                  G#
You can always come home,
C                 Am
We can do all the old things,
F                 Am
We can do all the bad things
D#                   Dm
If the food gets you leery,
Am             G#
You can always call,
C                 Am
We can do all the good things,
F                     Am
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it

Dm7              Em
Don't stay in a bad place
            F                  G
Where they don't care how you are...

Chorus:
               Dm7 Em
Everyone says 'hi'
                F  G
Everyone says 'hi'
Everyone says 'hi'
And the girl next door
And the guy upstairs
Everyone says 'hi'
And your mum and dad
Everyone says 'hi'
And your big fat dog
Everyone says 'hi'
Everyone says 'hi'
Hi hi hi hi
