Jimmy climbs on board that old yellow bus
it sure looks big in his little eyes
his momma waves as her tears kick up the dust
Its never easy to say goodbye
Same chords
Julie Rae in her pearl white wedding gown
Has found her wings and its time to fly
Its all her dad can do to keep from breaking down
Its never easy to say goodbye
Chorus
G It aint eas Em y, to C ever say good D bye
It aint G eas Em y lettin C go of the ones you D love
But be G lieve Em me well meet C again bye and Am bye
If not here some where up ab ove

G Theyve been Em called on C down the D line
G Though their time was Em short I still C think about em every G day
G It aint Em easy to C say good- G -bye
