Tom Paxton 1964

Open or Capo I*

G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G

    G+G     C majorC      G+G
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
C majorC    G+G  D MajorD     G+G
made of sand, made of sand
         C majorC       G+G
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin',
C majorC    G+G  D MajorD     G+G
in your hand, in your hand.

    D MajorD         C majorC      G+G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
      C majorC    G+G      D MajorD  D7D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
    G+G          C majorC
Well, I could have loved you better,
    G+G
didn't mean to be unkind;
  D MajorD         D7D7        G+G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.

      G+G     C majorC     G+G
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
C majorC   G+G  D MajorD    G+G
this I know, this I know.
            C majorC    G+G
For the weeds have been steadily growin',
C majorC      G+G D MajorD       G+G
please don't go, please don't go.

    D MajorD         C majorC      G+G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
      C majorC    G+G      D MajorD  D7D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
    G+G          C majorC
Well, I could have loved you better,
    G+G
didn't mean to be unkind;
  D MajorD         D7D7        G+G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.

         C majorC       G+G
As we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
C majorC     G+G  D MajorD      G+G
round and round, round and round
            C majorC    G+G
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',
C majorC  G+G   D MajorD   G+G
underground, underground

    D MajorD         C majorC      G+G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
      C majorC    G+G      D MajorD  D7D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
    G+G          C majorC
Well, I could have loved you better,
    G+G
didn't mean to be unkind;
  D MajorD         D7D7        G+G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.

        C majorC     G+G
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
C majorC    G+G D MajorD     G+G
without you, without you.
         C majorC       G+G
Every song in my breast lies a bornin',
C majorC    G+G D MajorD     G+G
without you, without you.

    D MajorD         C majorC      G+G
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
      C majorC    G+G      D MajorD  D7D7
will there be not a trace left behind?
    G+G          C majorC
Well, I could have loved you better,
    G+G
didn't mean to be unkind;
  D MajorD         D7D7        G+G
you know that was the last thing on my mind.
