G Am C Am

i lived in holy house but the

grand hotel 


back streets of this old town i know so well 


and i drunken no holy wine save muscatel


 and now my friend i got to go 


you tell everyone i know


 sayin’ goodbye

bye bye dallas


 i can’t stay 


should’ve been at the palace


 yesterday


 bye bye dallas


 got to go


 and i remember when they told me so

right now i’m wonderin’ where the good times are gone 


all the things i never loved 


and they’re what’s mine 


a hot city and an empty park 


can make a man think on 


and i been living low so long


 i gotta get back where i belong
