Intro 

G      A  A7 

D  G  F#m  A 


verse 1 
D         G          F#m 
It was late last night 
    A                 D 
And all the band were sleeping 
       G         F#m       A 
It was late last night 
D         G          F#m 
I was listening to 
       A           D 
To the generators humming 
       G            F#m 
To the tent-zipping drunk 
          A 
Quipping, guy-rope tripping

verse 2 
D          G         F#m 
And in the gathering dew 
      A          D 
I was lucid as a floodlight 
      G           F#m      A 
I was thinking of you 
D           G         F#m 
But now I'm back here before you 
        A             D 
You can see me shaking 
            F#m       A 
Cos in that moment I knew 
       A            A            A 
I just knew, I just knew, I just knew 


verse 3 
D     G            F#m 
Forty seasons have flown 
        A                 D 
Since I first sat down beside you 
     G            F#m        A 
In a crowd on our own 
    D       G            F#m 
And how one person could thrill me 
    A7            D 
Occupy me and fulfil me 
        G          F#m 
I could never have known 
        A     A    A 
I could never have known 
 
G                       A 
How in the first of our autumns 
         A7        Em 
We'd be falling so steeply 
                     A 
We could share so completely 
G                       A 
How in the third of our summers 
          A7            Em 
When you first tried to leave me 
                    A 
You could cut me so deeply 
        A7         A7 
I could never have known

Bridge 
D         Daug       D 
And on my wilderness journeys 
          Daug          G 
With your compass still in me 
        Gaug          D 
All the shelters were empty 
            Daug       D 
Through the longest of winters 
       Daug           G 
When I called you downriver 
        Gaug       G 
But you gave me no answer 
      A             Bm 
And I feared for my mind 
          G              Bm 
Until the first signs of springtime 
         G          Bm 
You were sick and I saw you 
        A 
And how much you'd missed me 
Em         G        Em 
Now in our eleventh autumn 
        G               Em 
You are blonde from the summer 
        G            A 
And I'm back here before you 
        A7     A        
And you see me shaking

G  A  Em  A 

G                       A 
Will you go with me, my love? 

From here together 
Em                     A 
From this quiet rented house 
G                       A 
Will you go with me, my love? 

To face together 
Em                   A         A7  
Every rise and every slow decline 
Em               Bm 
Will you go with me 
        F#m            Em 
Through dream and fantasy?
 

Outro 
G             A  Bm 
Through the open fields 
    F#m         Em 
And tangled valleys? 
G                D 
Will you go with me 
        F#m            Em 
Through grief and ecstasy? 
G               A  Bm 
And every shade be-tween 
    F#m          Em 
The cold morning stars 
        A    A7   G       Bm 
And the deep blue sea
