E Bye Love

song title : bye bye love performed by : simon and garfunkel album : Bridge over troubled water chords interpreted by : hans julian sloman sound available on youtube /watch?v = d0glnfsgdla the song seems to be using only the chords B , F# and C# ( and E5 in the Intro ) ; however there are multiple ways of creating those sounds . another version available on here tells you to play A , E , and B , ( and D5 ) while using a capo in 2nd fret . however getting from E to B can be awkward for beginners , so here’s a version that i came up with that might make it easier for you , while still being able to play along with the song ( E . G . not in a different key ) : capo 7th fret Intro : C A5 F F A5 C [ Chorus ] F C bye bye , love . F C bye bye , happiness . F C hello , loneliness . C G C i think i’m gonna cry . F C bye bye , love . F C bye bye , sweet caress . F C hello , emptiness . C G C i feel like i could die . C G C bye bye , my love , goodbye . [ Verse 1 ] C G there goes my baby G C with someone new . C G she sure looks happy; G C i sure Am blue . C F she was my baby F G ’till he stepped in . G goodbye , to romance G C that might have been . ( Chorus ) [ Verse 2 ] C G i’m through with romance . G C i’m through with love . C G i’m through with counting G C the stars above , C F and here’s the reason F G that i’m so free : G my lovin’ baby G C is through with me . ( Chorus ) ( repeat and fade ) goodbye , my love goodbye . ( some more notes : - 7th fret is quite far up for a capo , so it only works on good acoustics or electric guitars - play A5 simply like a normal a except you only hit the A , D and G string/or you can mute the B string . - if you don’t care for playing/singing along with the record , there are lots of easy variations available ( E . G . transposing , with change of key ) . for example you could play C , G , and d; or D , A , and e; or you can play the version described here without a capo .
