VerseA
Well, I came by your house the other day,
C#m
Your mother said you went away
D
She said there was nothing that I could have done,
B7
There was nothing nobody could say
A
Me and you we've known each other,
C#m
Ever since we were sixteen
D
I wished I would have known, I wished I could've called you,
B7AC#mDB7
Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean
VerseA
Now you hung with me when all the others,
C#m
Turned away, turned up their nose
D
We liked the same music, we liked the same bands
B7
We liked the same clothes

We told each other that we were the wildest,
C#m
The wildest things we'd ever seen

ChorusD
Now we went walking in the rain,
F#m
Talking about the pain that from the world we hid
DAE
Now there aint nobody, no where no how, gonna ever understand me the way you did

A
Maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere,
C#m
In some bus or train traveling along
D
In some motel room you'll hear a radio playing,
B7
And you'll hear me sing this song
-
A
Well, if you do you'll know I'm thinking of you,
C#m
And all the miles in between
D
And I'm just calling one last time,
B7
Not to change your mind,
DEA
But just to say I miss you baby, good luck, goodbye Bobby Jean
