Say Goodbye Chords & Lyrics by Sanctus Real
Say Goodbye
guitar chords lyrics
Here's my shot at "Say Goodbye" by Sanctus Real, from their "Fight the Tide"
album. The strum pattern is pretty weird, so I'm not bothering with that.
Their guitar is tuned to D Standard (NOT Drop D), so it won't sound right
if your guitar is in E Standard tuning. A lot of hammer-ons and pull-offs
on the D string on the 2nd fret. The chord-change timing varies in the intro
and verses, as well. First half of intro,chord changes happen on about the
first and fourth beats; second half of intro, chord changes happen on first
and third beats. Listen to the song and I think you'll catch it.
Four harmonic plucks on 5th fret, then:
Intro: C Fsus C Fsus

Verse 1:
C Fsus
So say goodbye 'cause you'll be leaving soon
