Eastern Standard Time

	  		

first Chorus cello only 
Goodbye, goodbye,          
Eastern Standard Time  
It could be roses in my pockets  
or be roses on my stone.  

    C            Am         F            C 
The waves on the shore take all of my being, 
Dm       C           F      G      C 
gray and habitual, resolved and serene.  
    C           Am         F        C 
And I'm at your door half-smiling  
Dm                C               F    G  C 
All of a man half-waiting for the bell to ring.  
      A                    C 
While all of those waves unwavering  
    Bb  C   G 
I'm wa--ve-ring  

    F        C            F 
Goodbye, goodbye, Eastern Standard Time  
            F      
it could be roses in my pockets  
      C            G 
or be roses on my stone  
    F        C 
Goodbye, goodbye  
       F                  C       Em 
In the dark, dark hour of night  
            F 
I'll be the only one alone  
            C 
I'll be the only one alone  
            G                     C 
I'll be the only one alone  

   C          Am 
It can't be ignored  
          F                C 
though it can be screened.  
   Dm                C 
Oh singing out these melodies  
     F   G  C 
with all I  mean.  
      Dm         Am 
So surround and adore me,  
  Dm         Am 
arouse and implore me.  
    A                    C 
The waves will roll, the waves will crash  
    Bb        C          G 
and what left will there be?  
    Bb        C          G 
Oh, what left will there be?  

    F        C            F 
Goodbye, goodbye, Eastern Standard Time  
            F      
it could be roses in my pockets  
      C            G 
or be roses on my stone  
    F        C 
Goodbye, goodbye  
       F                  C       Em 
In the dark, dark hour of night  
            F 
I'll be the only one alone  
            C 
I'll be the only one alone  
            G 
I'll be the only one alone  
            F 
I'll be the only one alone  
            C 
I'll be the only one alone  
            G 
I'll be the only one alone  

    Am          C     F 
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye  
    Am          C     Dm 
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye  
    C            Am         F            C 
The waves on the shore take all of my being. 
Am              C        F 
   Goodbye, goodbye.
