Adios Joyland from Joyland by Bill Burge

F maj7 C maj7 G6 (open E)
Back in the day when our Hearts were still Young
F maj7 Em C maj7
Passing the time till the weekend would come
F maj7 Cmaj7 G6
The hours crawl by Till Friday at Five
F maj7 C maj7 C maj7 F maj7 G6
When I can pick you up I never Felt So Alive
F maj7 C maj7 G6 (open E)
We’d head for the bar where our Friends all hang Out
F maj7 Em C maj7
Cold beers, shoot pool two stepping about
F maj7 C maj7 G6 (open E)
An old wooden dance floor At the end a large Stage
F maj7 C maj7 C maj7 F maj7 G6
Just loving our life there when the Band plays “Turn the Page”

F maj7 C maj7 G6 (open E)
With your hand in mine We head for the Floor
F maj7 Em C maj7
That far distant sax leaves me longing for more
F maj7 C maj7 G6
These are the memories I cherish Most
F maj7 C maj7 C maj7 F maj7 G6
Now theres no joy in Joyland It’s gone a di os

Chorus
G maj7 D maj7
They’ve closed down the place all the Lights have gone dim
G maj7 D maj7 A
All that remains are the memories with In
G maj7 F# m7
Pool tables gone our Friends have moved on
C maj7 D maj7 E m7 F #m7 G
My life Seems empty since Joylands been Gone

G maj7 D maj7
The beers all seem warmer the Two step seems Dead
G maj7 D maj7 A
The music has faded vacated my head
G maj7 F# m7
The band has moved on There’s a church in that Space
C maj7 D maj7 E m7 F# m7 G
The joy that we shared there Can never be re Placed


Our life as one Has gone the same Way
shuttered and dark like where we use to play
new places, new friends New Hopes and new Dreams
Rebuilding our lives from the bottom up it Seems

I’m hopeful some day I'll find that Again
the love and the laughter I found way back then
someone to share The things that I Love
gifted from angels watching from a Bove

A new place to be with New friends and new Games
new dances new music a new love to flame
But until that time comes you’ll always be Close
Of the Joys lost at Joyland I will miss you the Most

Chorus

G majj7 D maj7
Many years have gone by my heart has grown old
G maj7 D maj7 D maj7 A
These memories of Joyland warm my heart and soul
