Intro: C G D Em7 | C G D (x2)
Verse 1:
C G D Em7 C
There’s a handwritten note pressed in the door
G D
of her screened in porch
C G D Em7 C G D
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
C G D Em7 C
She was still wearing white and robins egg blue,
G D
her grandmothers dress
C G D Em7 C
When I left early this year, how I wound up here
G D
is anyone’s guess
C G D Em7 C
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold
D
I’ll sail home again
Chorus 1:
G D
Goodbye Brielle
Am C
Only whispers can tell
G D
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
Am C
I’ll see you around our dear ocean town
G D
The frozen days we set ablaze
Am C
Sent me drifting away
G
Like a butterfly you floated by
D
And now you’re alone
Am C
I wish I knew when I’ll be back again
Am G C
So until then I wish you well
D
My dear Brielle
C G D Em7 | C G D (x2)
Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
C G D Em7 C
Strolling over the sand and cobblestone paths
G D
that wind through the trees
C G D Em7
and breathing the sweet forest air makes a bluebird
C G
aware that she could
D
be free
C G D Em7 C
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold,
D
I’ll sail home again
Chorus 2:
G D
Goodbye Brielle
Am C
Only whispers can tell
G D
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
Am C
I’ll see you around our dear ocean town
G D
The frozen days we set ablaze
Am C
Sent me drifting away
G
Like a butterfly you floated by
D
And now you’re alone
Am C
I wish I knew when I’ll be back again
Am G C
So until then I wish you well
Am G C
So until then I wish you well
Am G C
I love you my darling farewell
D
My dear Brielle
