A                                G   D
As I walked through the hospital door
I was sewn up like a coat
I got a smile from the bite of the wind
Watched the fresh fall of snow

I knew then that my life took a turn
I felt strong and secure
And with adhesive tape over my nose
I felt almost demure

D  A     E5     G
Goodbye, sister disco
With your flashing trash lamps
Goodbye, sister disco
And to your clubs and your tramps

G  D  G  D

D  A     E5     G
Goodbye, sister disco
My dancing's left you behind
Goodbye, now you're solo
Black plastic deaf dumb and blind

G D  G D

E       Bbm9
Goodbye

                Am
Goodbye, sister disco

F
Now I go

Dm             G             C       D7
I go where the music fits my soul

    E Bbm9                Am    
And I,       I will never let go

F
I'll never let go

         Dm          E        
Till the echo of the street fight

    A5
Has dissolved

Now I walk with a man in my face
A woman in my hair
I've got you all looking out through my eyes
My feet are a prayer

Goodbye, sister disco
with your flashing trash lamps
Goodbye, sister disco
And to your clubs and your tramps
