I Still Cant Say Goodbye

I Still Can't Say Goodbye

by R. Binn, J. Moore

Performed by Chet Atkins on "Chet Atkins - CGP" (1988)

Spoken introduction:

"You know, every time I look in the mirror I see my Dad.

I think that's why this song means so much to me."

Capo II

G C D, G C D

When I was young, my Dad would say Come on Son let's go out and play

G D C Dsus4 D , Em D/F# G C D

Sometimes it seems like yesterday

And I'd climb up the closet shelf When I was all by my-self

Grab his hat and fix the brim Pretending I was him

No matter how hard I try

No matter how many tears I cry

No matter how many years go by

I still can't say good-bye

He always took care of Mom and me. We all cut down a Christmas tree

He always had some time for me

Wind blows through the trees

Street lights, they still shine bright

Most things are the same

but I miss my Dad to-night

I walked by a Salvation Army store Saw a hat like my daddy wore

Tried it on when I walked in Still trying to be like him

No matter how hard I try

No matter how many years go by

No matter how many tears I cry

I still can't say good-bye

Enjoy, STEVE
