Lyrics by Louis Armstrong

[A] Say good[D]bye my own true [A7] lover
As we sing a lover’s [D] song
How it [G] breaks my heart to [D] leave you [Bm]
Now the [G] carnival is [A] gone

High a[D]bove the dawn is [A7] waking
And my tears are falling [D] rain
For the [G] carnival is [D] over [Bm]
We may [G] ne[A]ver meet a[D]gain [D7]

Like a [G] drum [A7] my heart was [D] beating [Bm]
And your [G] kiss [A7] was sweet as [F#m] wine [D7]
But the [G] joys [A7] of love are [F#m] fleeting [Bm]
For Pier[G]rot and Colum[C]bine [A7]

Now the [D] harbour light is [A7] calling
This will be our last good[D]bye
Though the [G] car[A7]nival is [D] over [Bm]
I will [G] lo[A7]ve you till I [D] die [D7]

Like a [G] drum [A7] my heart was [D] beating [Bm]
And your [G] kiss [A7] was sweet as [F#m] wine [D7]
But the [G] joys [A7] of love are [F#m] fleeting [Bm]
For Pier[G]rot and Colum[C]bine [A7]

Now the [D] harbour light is [A7] calling
This will be our last good[D]bye
Though the [G] car[A7]nival is [D] over [Bm]
I will [G] lo[A7]ve you till I [D] die [D7]

Though the [G] carni[A7]val is [D] over [Bm]
I will [G] lo[A7]ve you….till I [D] die
