A  C#m  D  B7 2x

      A
Well, I came by your house the other day,
     C#m
Your mother said you went away
    D
She said there was nothing that I could have done,
          B7
There was nothing nobody could say
A
Me and you we've known each other,
C#m
Ever since we were sixteen
  D
I wished I would have known, I wished I could've called you,
        B7                 A   C#m  D  B7
Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean

        A
Now you hung with me when all the others,
C#m
Turned away, turned up their nose
   D
We liked the same music, we liked the same bands
   B7
We liked the same clothes
   A
We told each other that we were the wildest,
    C#m
The wildest things we'd ever seen
      D
Now I wished you would have told me, I wished I could have talked to you,
        B7                 A   C#m  D  B7
Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean

    D
Now we went walking in the rain,
F#m
Talking about the pain that from the world we hid
          D                                   A                      E
Now there aint nobody, no where no how, gonna ever understand me the way you did

A
Maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere,
        C#m
In some bus or train traveling along
        D
In some motel room you'll hear a radio playing,
           B7
And you'll hear me sing this song
 
      A
Well, if you do you'll know I'm thinking of you,
    C#m
And all the miles in between
    D
And I'm just calling one last time,
       B7
Not to change your mind,
                  D                             E         A   
But just to say I miss you baby, good luck, goodbye Bobby Jean
