The Girl with the Golden Hair

Intro

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Golden hair and a gentle laugh

She carried Tennessee in her voice

Every kitchen radio knew her name

Strangers felt like family somehow

Picked a song for the lonely and the proud

Pre-Chorus

So we gather round the old porch light

Say goodbye the only way we know

Chorus

Goodbye to the girl with the golden hair

(Goodbye goodbye)

Goodbye to the heart that held us all

(Goodbye goodbye)

We'll sing it slow and we'll sing it clear

Goodbye goodbye

Goodbye to the girl with the golden hair

Verse 2

My mother hummed her on a Sunday drive

Two chords and a memory and a tear

She taught us how to lose and still stand tall

Now the fiddle bows a little lower tonight

And the steel guitar takes its sweet time

Pre-Chorus

So we gather round the old porch light

Say goodbye the only way we know

Chorus

Goodbye to the girl with the golden hair

(Goodbye goodbye)

Goodbye to the heart that held us all

(Goodbye goodbye)

We'll sing it slow and we'll sing it clear

Goodbye goodbye

Goodbye to the girl with the golden hair

Bridge

Take the long road home

Take the long road slow

Take the long road home

Where the wildflowers grow

Chorus

Goodbye to the girl with the golden hair

(Goodbye goodbye)

Goodbye to the heart that held us all

(Goodbye goodbye)

We'll sing it slow and we'll sing it clear

Goodbye goodbye

Goodbye to the girl with the golden hair

(Goodbye goodbye)

Goodbye goodbye
