Intro: No borderline, no borderline... 
Piano - F  Am  F  Am  F  Am  F  Am 
        C   Dm  G  C  Dm  G7 C 
  
                 F      G 
Took a boat over Lake Geneva 
Am     Em/G    Dm7       G     F 
It was raining all night long 
        D/F#         E/Ab   Am   
We were lucky and we saw no enemy 
    F         C            F        C 
And came from Switzerland, poor refugees 
F            C       G 
Far from the guns of war 
   F        G         C    Dm G7 
We said goodbye to it all 
  
  
C                       F       G 
They brought us in to a nurse's station 
Am     Em/G   Dm7      G     F 
Half a mile behind the lines 
   D/F#         E/Ab      Am       
Oh Lord, how my heart was breaking 
   F       C                 F       C 
To see the children, and the walking wounded 
F            C      G 
Hoping for a ticket home 
    F       G         C    Dm G7 
And say goodbye to it all 
  
  
C              F         G 
I woke up on a cold blue morning 
   Am      Em/G   Dm7              G       F 
To see her there, standing right beside me 
     D/F#          E/Ab            Am        
Long years since I left her at the borderline 
    F       C         F         C 
And how she found me, I'd never know 
    F          C         G 
But we decided there and then 
   F       G         C 
To say goodbye to it all 
G  C  F 
To it all 
        C   G/C C  F/C   
Say goodbye to  it all 
    G   C   G/C C  F/C  G 
Say goodbye to  it all 
  
  
C                 F            G 
Took a train from Paris to the ocean 
Am      Em/G    Dm7        G       F 
Found a small hotel by the coast 
   D/F#                E/Ab       Am       
As we walked along the beaches of Normandy 
   F       C        F      C 
We came to Juno, Omaha and Gold 
    F           C              G 
And whispered a prayer for the boys 
    F        G         C    Dm G7 
Who said goodbye to it all 
  
  
C                     F            G 
Now we've got our own place by the water 
    Am       Em/G       Dm7   G     F 
And I have a job in the old hotel 
       D/F#            E/Ab         Am       
She is ready and she's hoping for a daughter 
     F       C           F        C 
Well I don't mind, we've made our choice 
      F           C           G 
We've got all the time in the world 
   F        G         C     
We said goodbye to it all 
   F        G         C     
We said goodbye to it all 
  
  
     C  G/C  C  F   
  
  
 C  G/C C  F   
'Bye to it all 
G       C   G/C C  F 
Say goodbye to  it all 
G       C   G/C C  F 
Say goodbye to  it all 
G       C   G/C C  F 
Say goodbye to  it all 
G       C   G/C C  F 
Say goodbye to  it all 
  
  
G       C   G/C C  F 
Say goodbye 
G       C   G/C C  F 
Say goodbye...
