Am
if you go away on this summer day
Dm
then you might as well take the sun away;
G7
all the birds that flew in the summer sky
C9 C C9 C
when our love was new and our hearts were high;
Dm6 E7
when the day was young and the night was long
Am
and the moon stood still for the nightbird’s song ,
Dm7 E7 Dm6 Am
if you go away , if you go away , if you go away .
Am7 Am6
but if you stay , i’ll make you a day
E7 – 9 Am
like no day has been or will be again;
Am7 Am6
we’ll sail on the sun , we’ll ride on the rain ,
G7 C
we’ll talk to the trees and worship the wind .
E7 Am A#
then if you go , i’ll understand ,
Dm6 E7 Am
leave me just enough love to fill up my hand ,
C Dm Dm6 E7 D6 E7
if you go away , if you go away , if you go away .
Am
if you go away , as i know you will ,
Dm Dm+7
you must tell the world to stop turning til
G7
you return again , if you ever do ,
C
for what good is love without loving you?
Dm6 E7
can i tell you now , as you turn to go ,
Am
i’ll be dying slow til your next hello ,
Dm7 E7 Dm6 Am
if you go away , if you go away , if you go away .
Am7 Am6
but if you stay , i’ll make you a night
E7 – 9 Am
like no night has been , or will be again;
Am7 Am6
i’ll sail on your smile , i’ll ride on your touch ,
G7 C
i’ll talk to your eyes that i love so much .
E7 Am A#
but if you go , no , i won’t cry ,
Dm6 E7 Am
though the good is gone from the word good – bye .
C Dm Dm6 E7 D6 E7
if you go away , if you go away , if you go away .
Am
if you go away , as i know you must ,
Dm
there’ll be nothing left in the world to trust ,
G7
just an empty room , full of empty space ,
C
like the empty look i see on your face;
Dm6 E7
i’d have been your shadow if i thought it might
Am
have kept me here , by your side;
C Dm E7 – 9 Am
if you go away , if you go away . . . please don’t go away .
