Verse:
       A minorAm
If you go away on this summer day,
     DmDm
Then you might as well take the sun away
     G7G7
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
     C majorC      Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC
When our love was new
     C majorC       Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC
And our hearts were high
     DmDm
When the day was young,
     E7E7
And the night was long
     A minorAm       A minorAm Amadd9Amadd9 A minorAm
And the moon stood still
     A minorAm      A minorAm Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
For the nightbird song
    DmDm    Dsus2Dsus2 DmDm
If you go away,
    E7E7
if you go away
    A minorAm   A minorAm DmDm E7E7 A minorAm
If you go away

Chorus:
       Am7Am7         Am6Am6
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
         E7E7        Am7Am7
Like no day has been or will be again
          Am7Am7          Am6Am6
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
          G+G G7G7
We'll talk to the trees
   C majorC        E7E7
that worship the wind
      A minorAm       Bb majorBb
And if you go, I'll understand
        DmDm    Dm6Dm6 E7E7
Leave me just enough love
        A minorAm
to fill up my hand
    C majorC        DmDm  Dm6Dm6
If you go away, if you go away
      E7E7 Dm6Dm6 DmDm E7E7
If you go away

Verse:
A minorAm
If you go away, as I know you must,
       DmDm
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
    G+G                G7G7
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
     C majorC
Like the empty look I see on your face
    DmDm     Dm7Dm7    E7E7
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go,
     A minorAm    A minorAm Amadd9Amadd9 A minorAm
I'll be dying slow
     A minorAm    A minorAm Asus4Asus4 A minorAm
til your next hello,
    DmDm    Dsus2Dsus2 DmDm
If you go away,
    E7E7
if you go away
    A minorAm   A minorAm DmDm E7E7 A minorAm
If you go away

Chorus:
       Am7Am7         Am6Am6
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
          E7E7        A minorAm
Like no night has been, or will be again
          Am7Am7           Am6Am6
I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch,
         G+G  G7G7
I'll talk to your eyes
        C majorC  E7E7
that I love so much.
      A minorAm        Bb majorBb
But if you go, no, I won't cry,
  DmDm    Dm6Dm6    E7E7
Though the good is gone
           A minorAm
from the word good-bye.
    Dm6Dm6       E7E7       A minorAm
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
