G                Bm        C              G
Jimmy climbs on board of that old yellow bus
It sure looks big in his little eyes
His mama waves
As the tears kick up the dust
Am           D              G
It's never easy to say goodbye

Julie Ray in her pearl white wedding gown
Has found her wings and it's time to fly
It's all her dad can do to keep from breaking' down
It's never easy to say goodbye

Chorus:
          G Bm
It ain't easy
   C             G
To ever say goodbye
          G Bm
It ain't easy
          C                  D
Letting' go of the ones you love
       B    Bm
But believe me
             C           A
We'll meet again by and by
Am
If not here
 D             G
Somewhere up above

I've had friends
That I lost along the way
They've been called on down the line
Though their time was short
I still think about 'em everyday
It ain't easy to say goodbye

Chorus

The time has come
To go our separate ways
And it's alright if you wanna cry
Though I know we'll meet again someday
It's never easy to say goodbye

Chorus

If not here
Somewhere up above
