If You Go Away Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AmIf you go away on this summer day

Then you Dmmight as well take the sun away;

All the bG7irds that flew in the summer sky

When our C9love was nCew and our heC9arts were hCigh;

When the day was yDm6oung and the night was lE7ong

And the Ammoon stood still for the nightbird's song,

If you go Dm7away, if you go awE7ay, Dm6if you Amgo away.

But if you Am7stay, I'll make you a Am6day

[E7-9] Am

Like no day has been or will be again;

We'll sail on the Am7sun, we'll ride on tAm6he rain,

We'll talk to the tG7rees and worship the wCind.

Then E7if you Amgo, I'll undersA♯tand,

Leave me just enough Dm6love to fE7ill up my hAmand,

If you go awCay, if you Dmgo awDm6ay, if you go awE7ay. D6 E7

If you Amgo away, as I know you will,

Dm Dm+7

You must tell the world to stop turning til

You reG7turn again, if you ever do,

For what gCood is love without loving you?

Can I tDm6ell you now, as you turn to E7go,

I'll be dAmying slow til your next hello,

If you go aDm7way, if you go aE7way, Dm6if you Amgo away.

But if you stAm7ay, I'll make you a Am6night

[E7-9] Am

Like no night has been, or will be again;

I'll sail on your sAm7mile, I'll ride on your tAm6ouch,

I'll talk to your eG7yes that I love so Cmuch.

But E7if you Amgo, no, I won't cA♯ry,

Though the Dm6good is gone from the E7word good-bAmye.

If you go awCay, if you Dmgo aDm6way, if you go awE7ay. D6 E7

If you goAm away, as I know you must,

There'll be Dmnothing left in the world to trust,

Just an empty G7room, full of empty space,

Like the eCmpty look I see on your face;

I'd haveDm6 been your shadow if I thought it E7might

Have kAmept me here, by your side;

C Dm [E7-9] Am

If you go away, if you go away . . . please don't go away.
