song title : bye bye love
performed by : simon and garfunkel
album : bridge over troubled water
chords interpreted by : hans julian sloman
sound available on youtube /watch?v = d0glnfsgdla
the song seems to be using only the chords B , F# and C# ( and E5 in the intro ) ;
however there are multiple ways of creating those sounds .
another version available on here tells you to play
A , E , and B , ( and D5 ) while using a capo in 2nd fret .
however getting from E to B can be awkward for beginners ,
so here’s a version that i came up with that might make it
easier for you , while still being able to play along with the song
( E . G . not in a different key ) :
capo 7th fret
intro : C A5 F F A5 C
[ chorus ]
F C
bye bye , love .
F C
bye bye , happiness .
F C
hello , loneliness .
C G C
i think i’m gonna cry .
F C
bye bye , love .
F C
bye bye , sweet caress .
F C
hello , emptiness .
C G C
i feel like i could die .
C G C
bye bye , my love , goodbye .
[ verse 1 ]
C G
there goes my baby
G C
with someone new .
C G
she sure looks happy;
G C
i sure Am blue .
C F
she was my baby
F G
’till he stepped in .
G
goodbye , to romance
G C
that might have been .
( chorus )
[ verse 2 ]
C G
i’m through with romance .
G C
i’m through with love .
C G
i’m through with counting
G C
the stars above ,
C F
and here’s the reason
F G
that i’m so free :
G
my lovin’ baby
G C
is through with me .
( chorus )
( repeat and fade ) goodbye , my love goodbye .
( some more notes :
– 7th fret is quite far up for a capo , so it only works on good acoustics or
electric guitars
– play A5 simply like a normal a except you only hit the A , D and G string/or
you can mute the B string .
– if you don’t care for playing/singing along with the record , there are lots
of easy variations available ( E . G . transposing , with change of key ) .
for example you could play C , G , and d; or D , A , and e; or you can play the
version described here without a capo .
