[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]
[C][D][Em][C][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Now [G]the autumn
[D]leaves are [G]falling and [C]the tourists [D]have all [G]gone
And [C]the children they have
[G]all gone back to [D]school
And my [G]life [D]is as it [G]was before
I [C]work eight [D]hours [G]a day but the
[C]company's still [G]making all the [D]rules

[Verse 2]
[D]But there's [C]a girl in [D]Massachu[G]setts
south of [C]Boston [D]town she [G]said
And her [C]lovely face is [G]with me all [D]the day
Sure, I [G]met her [D]down in old [G]Tralee,
golden [C]hair [D]upon her [Em]head[C]
And I [G]took her heart [D]and she
stole mine away
[G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[G]Goodbye my [D]Bo [G]ston beauty,
[C]farewell my [D]Boston [G]rose
I'll [C]wait for you, I'll [G]think of you,
no [Am]threat to you I'll [D]pose
[G]Goodbye my [Am]Bo st[G]on beauty,
[C]farewell my [D]Boston [Em]rose
I [C]wish that you were [G]here but I know
[D]that's the way life [G]goes[D]

[Verse 4]
There's [G]a song [D]we sang all [G]sum
mer in [C]the bars in [D]Dublin [G]town
I can [C]here it on the [G]factory [D]radio
And [G]the feelings [D]I remember[G] when
[C]I here [D]that simple tun[G]e
Make me [C]wonder if it [G]really happened [D]so
For we [C]laughed and [D]loved to[G]gether
till [C]the summer [D]days [G]were gone
And she [C]had to fly across
[G]the ocean wide
[D]

[Verse 5]
So [G]goodbye my [D]Boston [G]beauty
un[C]til we [D]meet [Em]again[C]
And I'll [G]keep the fire [D]burning
deep [G]in [D]side
[G]Goodbye my [D]Bo [G]ston beauty,
[C]farewell my [D]Boston [G]rose
I'll [C]wait for you, I'll [G]think of you,
no [Am]threat to you I'll [D]pose
[G]Goodbye my [Am]Boston [G]beauty,
[C]farewell my [D]Boston [Em]rose
I [C]wish that you were [G]here but I know
[D]that's the way life [G]goes

[Verse 6]
[G]And [D]som[G]e nights w[D]hen I'm dri[G]nking
and my [C]friends have [D]gathered [G]'round
Well, [C]just for fun [G]someone
brings up your [D]name
Well, [G]I smile [D]there with the [G]rest of
them but I [C]can't [D]here [G]a sound
I [C]love you but to [G]them it's all [D]the same
And [C]nights [D]when I'm [G]alone my love,
you [C]come in[D]to [G]my mind
And [C]visions flash [G]upon that Emerald [D]Isle
Well, I [G]watch [D]the moon there [G]up above
then [C]I'll leave this [D]earth be[Em]hind[C]
And I'll [G]call to you [D]as I go sailing [G]by[D]

[Verse 7]
Good[G]bye my Boston beauty,
[C]farewell my [D]Boston [G]rose
I'll [C]wait for you, I'll [G]think of you,
no [Am]threat to you I'll [D]pose
[G]Goodbye my Boston beauty,
[C]farewell my [D]Boston [Em]rose
I [C]wish that you were [G]here but I
know [D]that's the way life [Em]goes
I [C]wish that you were [G]here so
[D]farewell my Boston [G]rose
