Subject: Beatles — «Hello Goodbye» — Lyrics
The only available notation for «Hello Goodbye» (Lennon/McCartney, 1967) is the chord pro version. Rest
Assured the music is accurate, but for anyone in search of the lyrics, I’ve got ’em.
HELLO GOODBYE
John Lennon, Paul McCartney
From the album «Magical Mystery Tour»
You say yes
I say no
You say stop
And I say go, go, go!
Oh, no
You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
I say high
You say low
You say why
And I say I don’t know
Oh, no
You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello
(Hello, goodbye, hello, goodbye)
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
(Hello, goodbye hello, goodbye)
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
(Middle-eight of song precedes verse but contains distant McCartney vocal)
La-la-la-la-la-la, do you say
Goodbye?
Oh, no
You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
You say yes
(I say yes)
I say no
(Do-re-mi-no)
You say stop
(I can stay)
And I say go, go, go
(Till it’s time to go)
Oh, no
You say goodbye, and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye, I say hello-o-o-o-o-o
Hello-o-o
(Outro)
Hey-la!
Hey-hey-lo-la!
Hey-la!
Hey-hey-lo-la!
(repeat and fade)
