Tall Heights
Eastern Standard Time
[first chorus cello only]
Goodbye, goodbye,
Eastern Standard Time
It could be roses in my pockets
or be roses on my stone.
C Am F C
The waves on the shore take all of my being,
Dm C F G C
gray and habitual, resolved and serene.
C Am F C
And I'm at your door half-smiling
Dm C F G C
All of a man half-waiting for the bell to ring.
A C
While all of those waves unwavering
Bb C G
I'm wa--ve-ring
F C F
Goodbye, goodbye, Eastern Standard Time
F
it could be roses in my pockets
C G
or be roses on my stone
F C
Goodbye, goodbye
F C Em
In the dark, dark hour of night
F
I'll be the only one alone
C
I'll be the only one alone
G C
I'll be the only one alone
C Am
It can't be ignored
F C
though it can be screened.
Dm C
Oh singing out these melodies
F G C
with all I mean.
Dm Am
So surround and adore me,
Dm Am
arouse and implore me.
A C
The waves will roll, the waves will crash
Bb C G
and what left will there be?
Bb C G
Oh, what left will there be?
F C F
Goodbye, goodbye, Eastern Standard Time
F
it could be roses in my pockets
C G
or be roses on my stone
F C
Goodbye, goodbye
F C Em
In the dark, dark hour of night
F
I'll be the only one alone
C
I'll be the only one alone
G
I'll be the only one alone
F
I'll be the only one alone
C
I'll be the only one alone
G
I'll be the only one alone
Am C F
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Am C Dm
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
C Am F C
The waves on the shore take all of my being.
Am C F
Goodbye, goodbye.
