Introd: Dm6 E7 Am C Dm Dm6 E7 D6 E7
Am Dm
If you go away on this summer day. Then you might as well take the sun away;
G7 C9 C C9 C
All the birds that flew in the summer sky. When our love was new and our hearts were high;
Dm6 E7 Am
When the day was young and the night was long. And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song,
Dm7 E7 Dm6 Am Am7 Am6
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. But if you stay, I'll make you a day
E7/9- Am Am7 Am6
Like no day has been or will be again; We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain,
G7 C E7 Am Bb
We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind. Then if you go, I'll understand,
Dm6 E7 Am C Dm Dm6 E7 D6 E7
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
Am Dm Dm+7
If you go away, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop turning til
G7 C
You return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving you?
Dm6 E7 Am
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go. I'll be dying slow til your next hello,
Dm7 E7 Dm6 Am Am7 Am6
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away. But if you stay, I'll make you a night
E7/9- Am Am7 Am6
Like no night has been, or will be again. I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
G7 C E7 Am Bb
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much. But if you go, no, I won't cry,
Dm6 E7 Am C Dm Dm6 E7 D6 E7
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye. If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
Am Dm
If you go away, as I know you must, There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
G7 C
Just an empty room, full of empty space. Like the empty look I see on your face;
Dm6 E7 Am
I'd have been your shadow if I thought it might. Have kept me here, by your side;
C Dm E7/9- Am
If you go away, if you go away please don't go away.
