The First Hello The Last Goodbye
Recorded by Roger Whittaker
Written by Cardew Robison and Roger Whittaker

C                                  F               D7
They say when you gain a lover you begin to lose a friend
         G7                         C
That the end of the beginning's the beginning of the end
                                     F
They say the moment that you're born is when you start to die
        C                             G7             C
And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye

                             F                          D7
We know each summer's coming means the winter's waiting there
    G7                               C
And gold would not be precious if we all had gold to spare
                                 F
You only know how low is low the first time that you fly
        C                             G7             C      C7
And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye

F                             C
If I could live forever it is certain I could never 
     D7                       C
Know another single second so sublime 
     Fm
That moment of our meeting
         C
When our hands first touched in greeting
      D7                               G7
How I wanted to hold back the hands of time

C                                 F                D7
When they begin the overture they start to end the show
     G7                                   C
When you said I'll never leave you then I knew that you would go
                                 F
The sound of all our laughter is now echoed in a sigh
        C                             G7             C      C7
And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye

Repeat #3

C                                 F                D7
When they begin the overture they start to end the show
     G7                                   C
When you said I'll never leave you then I knew that you would go
                                 F
The sound of all our laughter is now echoed in a sigh
        C                             G7             C
And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye
 
                                      G7             C
And the first time that we said hello began our last goodbye
