I've made a small fortune and you sqandered it all
C G7
You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall
C C7 F
But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change
C G7 C
So I gritted my teeth and didn't com- plain
C7 F
Now you come to me; with a simple good- bye
C G7
You tell me you're leavin' but you don't tell me why
C C7 F
Now we're here at the station and you're getting on
C
And all I can think of ... is ...
G7 C
Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone.
F
Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone
G7
I didn't know how much longer I could go on
C
Watchin' you take the respect out of me
F G7
Watchin' you make a total wreck out of me
C F C
That big diesel motor is a- playin my song
G7 C
Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone.
Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone
That load on my mind got lighter when you got on
That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight
With the black smoke a-rollin' up around the tail light
It may sound kinda cruel but I've been silent too long
Thank God and Greyhound, you're gone.
