Chords with lyrics
Stay, as performed by Alison Krauss
Written by Allyson Taylor-Larry Byrom
-------------------------------------------
Notes: Alison does this in F#, (capo on fret #4)
If you can play the style where you hit the bass string and then
strum, then (on both verse and chorus) hit the bass notes in the
D MajorD to E minorEm progression in a descending scale; i.e.,
D MajorD A/7 B minorBm A augmentedA G+G D/3 E minorEm so the bass notes are:
D MajorD C#C# BB A augmentedA G+G F#F# E MajorE
Stay
Verse1:
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Where have you been,
A augmentedA G+G
My long lost friend?
D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA
It's good to see you again.
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
Come and sit for a while;
A augmentedA G+G
I've missed your smile.
D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA
Today the past is goodbye.
FF E minorEm D MajorD
Time can't erase
FF E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA
A augmentedA lover's embrace.
B minorBm
Can't you hear it calling?
E MajorE
A augmentedA new day dawning
G+G FF G+G
You were longing to find.
Verse2:
Love's taken you far
Away from my heart,
And I've been here all alone.
Have your eyes failed to find
What took you from mine,
A augmentedA vision that's faded through time?
But you sail away,
Farther than a summer's day,
Cause you heard it calling,
A augmentedA new day dawning,
You were longing to find.
Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD G+G
There is a way to make you stay.
D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA
Darlin don't turn away.
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD G+G
Don't doubt your heart, and keep us apart;
D MajorD FF G+G
I'm right where you are.
D MajorD
Stay.
(solo over verse)
(repeat Chorus)
