Verse 1
(E major) (A minor) If you go away on this summer day
Then (D minor) you might as well take the sun away
All the (G major) birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was (C major) new
and our hearts were high
When the (D minor) day was young an
(Bdim) d the (E major) night was long
And the (A minor) moon stood still
for the nightbird's song
If (F major) you go away, if you (E major) go away,
if you (A minor) go away
But if (E major) you (A minor) stay, I'll make you a (F sharpdim) day
Like no day has (E major) been or will be (A minor) again
We'll sail the sun,
we'll ride on the (F sharpdim) rain
We'll talk to the (G major) trees and
worship the (C major) wind
Then (E major) if you (A minor) go, I'll understand
(B flat major) Leave me just enough (D minor) love
to (E major) fill up my (A minor) hand
If you go away, (C major) if you go away, (Bdim)
if you go (Esus4) away (E major) (A minor)
If you go away, as I know you will,
You must tell (D minor) the world to stop turning till
You (G major) return again, if you ever do,
For what good is love (C major) without loving you?
(G major) Can I (D minor) tell you now, as you (E major) turn to go,
I'll be (A minor) dying slowly till the next hello
If you (F major) go away, if you (E major) go away,
if you (A minor) go away
But if (Esus4) you (A minor) stay,
I'll make you a (F sharpdim) knight
Like no knight has (Esus4) been,
(E major) nor will be again
(A minor) I'll sail on your smile,
I'll ride on your (F sharpdim) touch
I'll talk to your (G major) eyes, that I love so (C major) much
But (E major) if you (A minor) go, go I won't (B flat major) cry
Though the good is gone
(D minor) from (E major) the word good (A minor) -bye
If you (C major) go away, if you (Bdim) go away,
if you go (Esus4) away (E major)
If you go (A minor) away, as I know you must
There'll (D minor) be nothing left
in the world to trust
Just (G major) an empty room, full of empty space
Like (C major) the empty look I see on your face
I'd (D minor) have been the shadow
of (B flat major) your shad (E major) ow
If I thought (A minor) it might have
kept me by your side
If (F major) you go away, (E major) if you go away
Please, (A minor) don't go away . . .
