If You Go Away

Terry Jacks


Tom: Am

 Am
If you go away, on this summer day
          Dm
Then you might as well take the sun away
            G
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
           C
When our love was new and our hearts were high
          F                  E
When the day was young, and the nights were long
          Am
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
           F          E          Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

[Refrão]

Am                            F
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
                E                Am
Like no day has been, or will be again
Am                                    F
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
                  G                         Am
We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly with the wind

Am
But if you go, when I love you so
             Dm
There'll be nothing left in the world you know
         G
Just an empty room full of empty space
         C
Like the empty look I see on your face
         F              E               Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away

[Refrão]

Am                            F
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
                E                Am
Like no day has been, or will be again
Am                                    F
We'll sail the sun, we'll ride on the rain
                  G                         Am
We'll talk to the trees, we'll fly with the wind
           Dm              E               Am
But if you go away, if you go away, if you go away
