Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye
Paul Williams
Performed by Juicy Fruits (Phantom of the Paradise)
GWe'll remember you Emforever Eddie
CThru' the sacrifice you made wEbe can't believe the price you paid
GFor love
GLittle Eddie Mitty born in Jersey City
EmStarted singin' when he was five
CNever knew his father mother didn't bother
DTo catch his last name fast as he came
GHe was off and flying, Times were really trying
EmEddie and his mother alone
CSoon another mister soon a baby sister
DMama kept swingin' and Eddie kept singin'
Chorus : G Em C D
Ah ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya for lGove for love
GAnd now the tragic story
GEddie's sister, Mary Louise, Emneeded an operation
CTo get the money he would have to become an Dovernight sensation
GEddie believed the American people
EmHad wonderful, lovegiving hearts
CHis well publicized end he considered would send
DHis memorial album to the top of the charts... and it Gdid
Chorus : G Em C D, ends with Eb and G
GWhen a young singer dies to Emour shock and surprise
CIn a plane crash or flashy Dsports car
GHe becomes quite well known
EmAnd the kindness he's shown Chas made more than one Dpost mortem star
GWell you did itEm Eddie and though itC's hard to applaud suDicide
GYou gave all you could gEmive so your sisCter could live
DAll America's choked up inside
GWe'll remember you forever EmEddie
CThru' the sacrifice you made we can't believEbe the price you paid
GFor love
