Tom: C

         G        Am     Em
Swallow, swallow, little swallow
F        C    G
Must you fly away?
C            G
Why must you leave us?
Am           Em
Every summer grieve us
F            G       C
Wouldn't you like to stay?

[Verse]
G               C
I must be gone, autumn has come
    F          C          G
The leaves are turning to brown
C          G
If I don't fly
     Am            Em
Then I will surely die
     F       G     C
Then I could not return

[Instrumental]
C  G  Am  Em  F  G  C

[Verse]
         G        Am     Em
Swallow, swallow, little swallow
F     C         G
Can I come with you?
    C               G
The wind is getting colder
Am           Em
I am growing older
F            G       C
Wouldn't you take me too?

[Verse]
G             C
Come with me, over the sea
F         C            G
Leave the mist and the rain
C                 G
Come and find the sun now
Am             Em
Summertime has gone now
F      G   C
I must go again

[Instrumental]
C  G  Am  Em  F  C  G  x2
G    C    F  C  G
C  G  Am  Em  F  G  C

[Verse]
         G        Am     Em
Swallow, swallow, little swallow
F       C        G
Time is drifting by
C               G
You must go without me
Am           Em
Never think about me
F     G      C
Never reason why

[Verse]
G                      C
You had your chance to join in the dance
    F        C         G
Now it's too late to begin
    C              G
The olive tree's a-calling
    Am                  Em
But here the leaves are fallin'
       F         G   C
You'll never see me again
