Originally composed by Will D. Cobb (lyrics) and Paul Barnes (music)


C G7   C                    Am Fm6 C
I have come to say goodbye, Dolly  Gray
                           F  C  G    G7
It's no use to ask me why, Dolly Gray
C       G7 C                  Am  Fm6 C
There's a  murmur in the air, you can hear it everywhere
      G              D9    D7    G    G7
It is time to do and dare, Dolly Gray

C     G7  C                       Am Fm6 C 
Don't you hear the tramp of feet, Dolly  Gray
                                     F  C  G    G7
Sounding through the village street, Dolly Gray
C    G7  C                       E7       F           Ab7
'Tis the tramp of soldiers' feet in their uniforms so neat
        C            D     D7    G7     Fm6 G7
"So goodbye until we meet, Dolly Gray!"

C       G/F   F      C          F       C                  G7  Gdim G7
Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, tho' it breaks my heart to go
C         G/F      F    C             G        D7        G7    Dm G7
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
C        G/F      F        C               F         F6  E
See  the soldiers boys are marching, and I can no longer stay
F6      F#dim          C         D7      G7    C
Hark! I hear the bugle calling, "Goodbye Dolly Gray!"

C    G7  C                     Am Fm6 C
Hear the rolling of the drums, Dolly  Gray
                                  F  C  G    G7
Back from war the regiment comes, Dolly Gray
C  G7   C                    Am Fm6 C
On your lovely face so fair, I  can see a look of care
         G                 D9     D7    G7
For your soldier boy's not there, Dolly Gray

C   G7  C                      Am Fm C
For the one you loved so well, Dolly Gray
                             F  C  G    G7
In the midst of battle fell, Dolly Gray
C    G7  C                     E7    F                Ab7
With his face towards the foe, as he died he murmured low
        C               D   D7    G7     Fm6 G7
"I must say goodbye and go, Dolly Gray!"


C       G/F   F      C          F       C                  G7  Gdim G7
Goodbye Dolly I must leave you, tho' it breaks my heart to go
C         G/F      F    C             G        D7        G7    Dm G7
Something tells me I am needed at the front to fight the foe
C        G/F      F        C               F         F6  E
See  the soldiers boys are marching, and I can no longer stay
F6      F#dim          C         D7      G7    C
Hark! I hear the bugle calling, "Goodbye Dolly Gray!"
