Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye

Words and Music by John D. Loudermilk

This rendition is done in the style of Tom Remington and is intended for you personal use only. Please do not copy or sell.

Performed in the key of G and can be done a couple of ways. Neal McCoy's rendition has a bit of a lift to it but the original was done in a very slow methodic way in the style of the 40s and 50s. I like to do it as a 50s R&B Ballad.
