If you Go Away
(Brel/Shuman)
Intro: Am
Am
If you go away on this summer day
Dm7
Then you might as well take the sun away
G7
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
C
When our love was new and our hearts were high
Dm/F E7
And the day was young and the night was long
Am Am7/G
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song
Dm/F E7 Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
Am7 Am(maj6)
But if you stay I'll make you a day
E7 Am
Like no day has been or will be again
Am7 Am(maj6)
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
G E7
And talk to the trees and worship the wind
Am Bb
Then if you go I'll understand
Esus4/B E Am
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
G Dm/F E7
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
Am
If you go away as I know you will
Dm7
You must tell the world to stop turning, turning
G7
'Til you return again, if you ever do
C
For what good is love without loving you?
Dm/F E7
Can I tell you now as you turn to go
Am A7/G
I'll be dying slowly 'til the next hello
Dm/F E7 Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
Am7 Am(maj6)
But if you stay I'll make you a night
E7 Am
Like no night has been or will be again
Am7 Am(maj6)
I'll sail on your smile, I'll glide on your touch
G E7
I'll talk to your eyes that I love so much
Am Bb
But if you go I won't cry
Esus4/B E
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye
G Dm/F E7
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
Cmaj7 G6 Gm(maj6)
If you go away, as I know you must
Fmaj7 Dm7/Ab
There'd be nothing left in this world to trust
Gsus4 G
Just an empty room full of empty space
C
Like the empty look I see on your face
B7b5 E7
And I'd have been the shadow of your shadow
Am Am7/G
If it might have kept me by your side
Fmaj7 E Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away
