Goodbye
Steve Earle is the composer; this version may follow Chrissie Hynde's interpretation more than the 
original as performed by Mr. Earle. It was suggested that I move this to her page on U-G, but I don't think 
composers should lose credit just because someone else arranged it. Those who are interested in 
a version more true to Steve Earle's original should probably look at version 3. 

Capo I/III/V (original key: Ab; Chrissie Hynde performs this in Gb rather than Ab)
