Xavier Rudd - Before I Go
Album: Storm Boy

Chorus:
     FF    C majorC    Bb majorBb
Before I go can I hold you close?
      FF      C majorC   Bb majorBb
'Cause your light fills up my soul
     FF    C majorC      Bb majorBb
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
   FF       C majorC   FF
Why I just need you by my side

Verse 1:
C majorC       Bb majorBb       FF
Framed in the doorway by the first morning light
C majorC     Bb majorBb   FF
Heart was heavy, bags by your side
C majorC    Bb majorBb      FF
She look over, she was trying hard to hide
      G+G    Bb majorBb    FF
That hollow feeling she felt inside


Chorus:
     FF    C majorC    Bb majorBb
Before I go can I hold you close?
      FF      C majorC   Bb majorBb
'Cause your light fills up my soul
     FF    C majorC      Bb majorBb
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
   FF       C majorC   FF
Why I just need you by my side


Verse 2:
C majorC        Bb majorBb          FF
There's time to walk away, there was nothing left to say
C majorC        Bb majorBb       FF
She allowed that tear to finally trickle down her face
C majorC       Bb majorBb           FF
He turned and tipped his hat, said, "Angel, now you be safe,
      G+G    Bb majorBb         FF
There ain't nothing ever gonna take your place."


Chorus:
     FF    C majorC    Bb majorBb
Before I go can I hold you close?
      FF      C majorC   Bb majorBb
'Cause your light fills up my soul
     FF    C majorC      Bb majorBb
And it's plain to see on these lonely nights
   FF       C majorC   FF
Why I just need you by my side

Solo:
FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF C majorC Bb majorBb FF C majorC FF


Bridge:
G+G        Bb majorBb        FF
 Sometimes you feel down when it rains
G+G     Bb majorBb       C majorC
 Then you see the colors change
                FF
 And the rainbow guides you home


Chorus:
FF   C majorC    Bb majorBb
Can I hold you close?
FF               C majorC      Bb majorBb
'Cause that's the safest place I've ever known
     FF     C majorC      Bb majorBb
And it's plain to see on these lonely nights
   FF       C majorC   FF
Why I just need you by my side
