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 majorA 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.
