                                                           C
And I can tell you're mad at me there you stand tellin' me goodbye
 G7                                                                F
And I say no you can't go I love you so much I can't let you get away
G7                              C (hit and mute)
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

[Chorus]

  N.C.    F
Uhhuhhuh love don't leave me don't leave me laying here
      C
This ground is cold and chilly really don't leave your charming Billy
 G7
Way out here you hear well the moon is high and so am I
                                     F
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
    G7                                 C
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone
