A surprise 50s-style hit for the Casinos in early 1967 - note the use of
the so-called 'Hendrix' chord (Bb7#9) in the horn arrangement of this
lovely John D. Loudermilk ballad. --AWR

Verse 3:

Then if you must go
Mmm, I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried

Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
D A [end cold]
Then you can tell me goodbye
