C                 G
Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
C                    G
Crashed and on their way
C           G                 Am            G
Father he enjoyed collisions, others walked away
  Am                 G
A snowflake falls in may.
        Dm             E          Am                Am/F#
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
          F                         E
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
            C
Goodbye for now.

C              G              C              G
Nature has its own religion, gospel from the land
C               G              Am             G
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Am            G
Old men comprehend.
        Dm            E              Am              Am/G
And the sky breaks at dawn, shedding light upon this town
            Am/F#
They'll all come 'round
          F                         E
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
            C
Goodbye for now.

        E
And the road
            F
The old man paved
           C               Am/F#
The broken seams along the way
           F                    E
The rusted signs, left just for me
       Am          Am/G          Am/F#
He was guiding me, love, his own way
        F                         E
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
       F
As the curtain comes down
            E                        C
I feel that this is just goodbye for now.
