Goodbye MARY HOPKIN (with lyrics)

“Goodbye“ is a song written by Paul McCartney and released on 28 March 1969, reaching #2 in the UK singles chart but prevented from reaching the top position by the Beatles’ single “Get Back“. In the US, released 7 April 1969, the song reached #13 on the singles chart. In the Netherlands and Ireland the single peaked at #1. To assist Hopkin in learning the song, McCartney recorded a solo demo at his home, 7 Cavendish Avenue, London, in early February 1969, along with its flip side, “Sparrow“, by Paul McCartney on 1 March 1969 at Morgan Studios in Willesden. To better match Hopkin’s voice, the key was raised from C major to E major. The recording was Apple’s first official double-A-side, and the first Apple record to feature a full-fledged picture sleeve.
