6   6  -6 6  6
If you go a-way 
6   6   -6   6   6
On this sum-mer day 
 6    6   -6   6   -5
Then you might as well 
 -5  -5   6 -5 -5
Take the sun a-way 
-5  -5    6    -5   -5
All the birds that flew 
-5 -5   6  -5  -5
In the sum-mer sky 
 -5  -5   6   -5   5
When our love was new 
 5   5    -5    5    5
And our hearts were high 
 5    5  -5   5    -4
When the day was young 
-4  -4    4   -4   -4
And the night was long 
-4  -4    4    -4   -3
And the moon stood still 
-3  -3    -4    -3    -3
For the night bird's song 

-3 -3  -4 -3 -3
If you go a-way 
-3 -3  -4 -3 3*
If you go a-way
3*  3* -3 3* -3
If you go a-way
-3 -4  -4 -3 -3
If you go a-way

 6 -6*  7*  -7   -7   -7  -8 -7  7
But if you stay I'll make you a day 
 8   8  -8  -7   -8 
Like no day has been 
-8  -8  7* 6  -7
Or will be a-gain 
  6    -6*  7* -7
We'll sail the sun 
 -7    -7  -8  -7   8
We'll ride on the rain 
  8    8   -8 -7    7
We'll talk to the trees 
 7  -5    7  -6    6
And wor-ship the wind 
 7*  -7 -8  9   9   10  9   -7*
Then if you go I'll un-der-stand 
 -7* -7*  -9 -7*  -7   -7
Leave me just e-nough love 
-7  7*  7* 7*  -7
To fill up my hand 

-7 -7  -8 -7 -7
If you go a-way 
7   7  -7 7 -6
If you go a-way
-6 -6  7 -6  6
If you go a-way
6   6  -6 6  6
If you go a-way
