Chorus:
D  Bm        Em             A       D
Yvonne's the one I've been counting on
     Bm        Em                  A    D
She said, Hold on, you're not the only one
    Bm    Em       A       D
And so I said, So long, Yvonne

        D                    G
When I first saw Yvonne, volcanoes erupted
     Bm                      G
And laughter flowed into my life
      A        D      A        D
She seemed allright, nothing wrong
A            D        A        D
Everything about her was so strong
     Bm            G       Em  Bm G A7
It's always gonna keep us apart

Chorus

When I saw her again, I was caught in a landslide
But I didn't dare let it show
Her ruby lips were teasing me
Jealousy would never let us be
It's always gonna keep us apart

Yvonne's the one I've been counting on
She said, Hold on, you're not the only one
    Bm    Em       A       D
And so I said, So long, Yvonne

Em                  A
She never knew how much I loved her
Em              A
I never got to tell her
Em                A              Em A Em A Em A Em A
We never found a way to say farewell
   D
Yvonne

When I last saw Yvonne, she was covered in roses
But sadness had ended her life
She walked so tall, she looked so tan
Everything about her was so grand
But what you get is not what you see
So long, Yvonne, you’re not fooling me

Chorus:
Yvonne, Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, "hold on, you’re not the only one"
And so I said so long Yvonne

Yvonne, Yvonne’s the one I’ve been counting on
She said, "hold on, you’re not the only one"
And so I said so long Yvonne

So long Yvonne
