     Bm 
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
     Em                                 Bm 
The thrill is gone, the thrill is gone away
  G7M              F#7                       Bm 
You done me wrong baby And you' re gonna be sorry someday

      Bm 
The thrill is gone, it' s gone away from me
     Em                                 Bm 
The thrill is gone, the thrill has gone away from me
  G7M                  F#7            Bm 
Although I&rsquo ll still live on, But so lonely I' ll be

      Bm 
The thrill is gone, it' s gone away for good
        Em                                        Bm 
Oh, the thrill is gone, baby it' s gone away for good
  G7M                        F#7                     Bm 
Someday I know I' ll be open armed baby, just like I know a good man should

              Bm 
You know I&rsquo m free, free now baby, I&rsquo m free from your spell
 Em                                  Bm 
Oh, I&rsquo m free, free, free, now, I&rsquo m free from your spell
     G7M                 F#7           Bm 
And now that it&rsquo s all over, all I can do is wish you well
