Chords for Scott Walker - If You Go Away (1969)

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ If you go away on this summer day, then [Dm] you might as well [C] _ take [Dm] _
the sun away, [C] _ _ _ [G] all the [Em] birds
that flew in [G] the summer sky [Em]
when [C] _ our love was new _ and our hearts were high _ [F] and [Dm]
the day
was young and [E] the night was long [D]
and _ [Am] the moon stood still [C] for [Em] the night [Am] bird's song.
_ [F] [Dm] If you go away, _ _ _ [E] if you go away, [Am] if you go away. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But if you stay, _ _ I'll make you a [Gb] day like no [Dm] day [D] has been or [Am] will be again.
_ _ We'll [C] sail the sun, we'll ride [Am] on the rain and [G] talk to the trees [Em] and [E] worship the wind. _ _
[Am] Then if you go, I'll [Bb] understand, _ leave me [B] just enough love [E]
to [Am] fill up my _ hand.
[G] If you go away, _ [Dm] if you go away, _ _ _ [E] if you go away, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ if you go _ [Am] away.
_ _ _ As I know you will, you [Dm] must tell the [Am] world to [Dm] stop turning, [Am] _ _
[G] turning, _ [Em] till you return [G] again.
[Em] If you ever do [C] for, _ what good is love _ without _ [G] loving you?
[F] _ [B] _ [Am] Can I tell you now, [E] as you turn to go, _ _ [Am] _ I'll be dying slowly, _ [G] _ till the [Am] next hello. _
[F] If you go away, _ [E] if you go away, _ _ [Am] _ _ if you go away.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] But if you stay, _ I'll make you a night _ like no [D] night has been or will be [Am] again.
_ I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch, _ I'll talk [F] to your [G] _
eyes that I [E] love so much. _
Then [Am] if you go, _ I [Bb] won't cry, though the [B] good is gone [E] from the [Am] world goodbye.
_ _ [G] _
If you go away, [Dm] if you go away, _
[F] if you [E] go away, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ if you go [C] away.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
As I know you [E] must, _ [Dm] _ _ there'd be nothing left [D] in this world to trust. _
[G] _ _ _ [C] Just an empty room, [G] full of empty space, like _ [C] the empty look _ I see on your face.
_ [B] _ _ And I'd have been the shadow [E] _
of your shadow, _ _ [Am] _
if you might have kept me by your side.
_ If [F] you go away, _
[Dm] _ _ [E] if you go _ away, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ if you go [F] _ _
_ _ [A] away. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
