Hope you enjoy this "easy to play along" Version for this song. Feel free to correct me if something's wrong.

In the 2nd INTERLUDE part you have this D/C# thing. Just play a D major and put your little finger on the
C#(A-String, 4th fret)and strum it once.


Intro:
G  D  A  D

Chorus:
        G                    D
No it's never on the day you leave
         A                       D
That you wonder what you still believe in
        G              D                 A
And you can't remember why you said goodbye
               G            D                   A            B     G
You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around
    D      A                    D
But never, never on the day you leave

Verse 1:
G                 D
Love grows in the time it's been
      B                    A
Since you last heard her sing
       G                D
She'll cut her hair and move somewhere
          B          A
She don't owe you anything


Interlude:
G D A D


Chorus:
        G                     D          
No it's never on the day you leave
        A                   D
You can tell how it's gonna be
           G              D                A
To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes
               G                  D
You wish you'd given her one more kiss
       A          B          G
To put away for a night like this
    D      A                     D
But never, never on the day you leave


Verse 2:
G                 D
Love grows in the time it's been
      B                  A
Since you last held her hand
                 G  
She'll fight for you like hell
     D                B               A
Then force herself to like some other man


Interlude:
D  G  E  D  D  D/C#


Chorus:
        G                     D  
No it's never on the day you leave
           A                 D
That you remember Christmas Eve
             G                D              A
And all the things you miss about her crazy family
                G               D            A          B         G
You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree
     B     A                    D
But never, never on the day you leave
   B      A                    D 
No never, never on the day you leave


Bridge:
    E                          G       
So maybe it'd be better off to write her
    E                                 G
And leave a little note right there beside her
          E                                G  
That says maybe we're not perfect but I'll be
D           A    G          
Damned if I ever leave
D           A    G
Damned if I ever leave
D           D/A  D
Damned if I ever leave
