Capo: 3

I Wave Bye Bye - Jesse Winchester Key of Bb (as recorded. Play as if in G with capo on the 3rd Fret. Jesse plays the song in 'A' on his YouTube recordings, using no capo. But this way you can more easily raise or lower the key to suit your own voice. Intro: Am7 - Bm7 - C - D Verse 1

^GJust out in the harbour, ^Emall the ships asleep ^AmMaybe one cold watchman, ^Cwalks a lonely ^Dbeat And ^Gway out on the water, a ^Emship is under sail ^AmLeaving wavy starlight, and a ^Cdreamer in her ^Dtrail

Chorus

I ^Gwave bye ^Embye, I ^Ampray, God ^Dspeed Oh I ^Gwish, lovely ^Emweather, more ^Amluck than you ^Dneed You'll ^Gonly ^Bm7sail in ^Am7circles, ^Cso there's no need to ^Am7cry ^D No, ^GI'll see ^Bm7you, ^Gagain one ^Em7day,^Am7 and then I ^Dwave bye ^Gbye

Verse 2

The ^Gsailing ship reminds me, ^Emof a certain girl Who ^Amleft a certain dreamer, to ^Csail into the ^Dworld I've ^Gvery friendly post-cards, from ^Emvery far away ^AmBut they just remind me, ^Cof a certain ^Dday

Chorus

I ^Gwave, bye ^Embye, I ^Ampray, God ^Dspeed I ^Gwish, lovely ^Emweather, with more ^Amluck, than you ^Dneed You'll ^Gonly ^Bm7sail in ^Am7circles, ^Cso there's no need to ^Am7cry ^D No ^GI'll, see ^Bm7you, ^Gagain one ^Em7day, ^Am7then I ^Dwaved bye ^Gbye ^GBye bye
