If You Go Away Chords by Shirley Bassey

We're gonna say finders keepers because you know how much I like sheepdogs.
This one tells me that _ she's on your show.
She belongs to you.
Well I'll tell you what, I promise to bring her back if you will sing a favorite song of mine
because I wrote it because nobody sings it like you do.
If You Go Away.
Isn't that [G] right Emma?
_ _ Emma says yes. _
_ [E] _ _ It is for both of you. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ If you go [E] away
[Em] _
_ _ _ on _ _ this summer day
_ _ _ [A] then you might [Am] as well _ take the sun away
_ all [B] the birds that flew _ _ in the summer sky _ _
[Em] when our love was new _ _ _
and our hearts were high
_ _ when the day was [A] young
[Am] _ _ and the night was long
and the [E] moon [Em] stood still
_ for the night bird's song _
_ if [E] you go [C] away _
if [B] you go _ away _
if _ you go away
[E] _
[Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
if you go away
but if you [E] stay
_ [Em] I'll make [C] you a day
like no [B] day has been
or will be [Em] again
we'll sail on the sun
we'll ride on [C] the rave
we'll talk to [D] the trees
and worship [G] the wind
_ [B] then [E] if you go
[Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ leave me just [F#] enough love
_ _ [B] to hold in my _ [Em] hand
_ _ if you go [D] away
_ _ if _ [C] you go away _ _ _
if you go _ away
[E] _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ if _
_ _ [G] you go [E] away
[Em] _
as I know you will
you must tell the [Am] world
_ to stop turning till
you return [B] again _
if you ever do
_ for what good [Em] is love
_ without loving you
can I tell you [Am] now
_ as you turn to go
_ I'll be [E] dying [Em] slowly
_ [E] till the next hour
[Em] _ _ _ if you go [C] away
_ if you [B] go away
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] if you go away
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ but if you stay _
_ [G] I'll make you a [C#] night
like no night has [B] been
[F#] or will [Em] be again
we'll sail on your smile
[G] we'll [C] ride on your touch
I'll [D] talk to your eyes
[C]
[D] that I love [G] so much
_ [F#m] but if you [E] go
[Em] though _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
the good is [F#] gone
from [B] the word
_ _ [Em] _ _ goodbye _
if you go [D] away
_ if _ [Am] you go away
[C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ if you go _
if _ [E] _ [B] _ [E] you _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
go away
_ [Em] _ as I know [G] you must
_ _ there'll be [C] nothing left
in the [D] world to trust
_ just an empty [Am] room
full of empty space
_ like the [G] empty look
I see on your face _
might have been
[F#] the shadow of your [B] dog _
_ if I [Em] thought it might have been _
by your [A] side
_ _ _ if you go away
[Am] _ if [C] you go [B] away
_ _ _ if _ _ [E]
you [Em] go _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] I _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ think uh
how did I do?
I think they
I think they like the way you do it and uh
I gotta tell you something you know
you're the first
one of the first people to ever record that song
was I really?
[G] everybody else had to live up to that after work
even me
_ that wasn't easy listen um
I [G#m] love coming here
and being here
thank you for coming and uh
there's one thing I wanted to talk to you about though
I'm not overly thrilled about your having an old English sheepdog
oh why not?
[G] on your television series
I know it's your last night
and I shouldn't get bitchy or anything like that but
an old English sheepdog has been my trademark in this country oh really?
yes
you might have had an old American sheepdog or something
it's a bison's that you'll use
I didn't know they had them
for you they'd have [E] one _ _
nevertheless uh
we have your dog here
I want you to
[N] I want to thank you for bringing her back
Emma come come Emma come Emma Emma
no this way
Emma over here
_ _ we're here
your dog right?
yes Emma we're [E] here
let me put it this way Shirley
do I get to sing to you or the dog?
um well uh
I'll leave it to you
