Bye, Bye Lida


[G C, G C, G C D]
Though I never met you girl
You came into my world
and it was a time of so much pain
My honey said to me
Oh what a shame to see
the hate of 3 boys took you down

CHORUS:
Bye, Bye Lida
May you be in a better place
Where you can be free
To be
Who you wanna be

I know your eyes could see
You'd only hoped to be free
Maybe a little bit pretty
[Even] with your heart of gold
Why'd they have to be so cold
and put you down in a shallow grave

CHORUS

BRIDGE
[A-] Daisy, Daisy
[D-] It's too late to save me
[A-] Daisy I'm alright
[D-] Daisy it's OK
[A-] Daisy, Daisy
[D / Dsus] Now I'm free...

 

October came too soon
Under a harvest moon
Sometimes there's things you can't get back
When the time has come
The geese will make their run
As we bundle up against the cold

CHORUS

As the sky grows dark
You're always in our heart
We won't ever forget about you
[Eddie] You were only seventeen
Why'd they have to be so mean
Another victim of hate and fear

CHORUS (modified)
Bye, Bye Lida
[I know] you're in a better place
[and you're] flying free
you can be
who you wanna be
{repeat chorus}
