Bye-Bye-Baby Goodbye  -  Col Joye & His Joy Boys  1959
 
This song is fairly easy to play if you use barre chords 
in the places where slides are indicated as “/” for up, 
and “\” for down.

The up slide F/F#/G is only heard faintly in the original
song, but I think it sounds good, so I kept it. The chord
sequence G\F\Em/Dm7 can be done with open chords, but the 
alternative is G\F\Em\D starting with the G barre chord 
on fret 10.
