So I Take my Leave Words & music copyright Paul Nash 2002 G C+9 F+9 C So I take my leave G C+9 Dm Am Down that same old road; G C+9 Dm F+9Em Distance can deceive G C+9 Dm Em7GF+9 C [How] But those green hills glowed. Bridge G (C)G Dm Am Thinking of you but travelling alone GC Dm C G AmF Nearly turned my heart to stone; G Am FM7 Am There at my side like a ghostly bride F+9 C G Am GmG You kept me for your own. Walk another mile Trying not to turn; Paint on a new smile, [oh yeah,] Stay bright, but don't burn. Lady at her door Watching her last day; One look, then no more, Life took me away. The same sun shone through you All those lonely days; And now it's shining through My dreams like x-rays. Bridge 2 G (C)G Dm Am Closing the door, walking out in the light GC Dm C G AmF I forget you a while, and I can live G Am FM7 Am Till I'm adrift on the waves of the night, F+9 C G Am GmG Then I ask how much more I can give. So I take my leave Of time and sense and joy, Of love I still believe Nothing could destroy. I drink to your charms And love in your eyes Though you left my arms Like a deer that flies. G C+9 F+9 C So I take my leave G C+9 Dm Am Down that same old road; G C+9 Dm F+9Em Distance can deceive G C+9 Dm Em7GF+9 C But how those green hills glowed.
