[Intro]  Dm6  E7  Am  C  Dm  Dm6  E7  D6  E7
 
   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             Bb
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                     Dm7+
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               Bb
But if you go, no, I won't cry
           Dm6                   E7         Am
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
             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
