INTRO:(Single Arpeggiated Chords)
E                     C#m
If you ever leave me, I'll be sad and blue,
G#m                          F#m7            B7
Don't you ever leave me, I'm so in love with you.


VERSE 1:
E                G#m          C#m
The birds in the sky would be sad a lonely,
B7      E         G#m         C#m
If they knew that I'd lost my one and only.
B7        A              B7/F#  E  G#m7 B7
They'd be sad, if you're bad to me.


VERSE 2:
E                 G#m            C#m
The leaves on the trees would be softly sighin',
B7      E              G#m             C#m
If they heard from the breeze that you left me cryin'.
B7        A             B7/F#  E  G#m7  B7
They'd be sad; don't be bad to me.


CHORUS:
B7             A                       B7
But I know you won't leave me 'cos you told me so,
    E                    C#m
And I've no intention of letting you go.
B7      A                                     B7/F#  E  G#m7 B7
Just as long as you let me know, you won't be bad to me.


VERSE 3:
E                   G#m          C#m
So the birds in the sky won't be sad and lonely,
B7        E    G#m      C#m
'Cos they know I got my one and only.
B7         A                 B7/F#  E   G#m7 B7 E
They'll be glad, you're not  bad to me.

CODA:
B7         A                B7 B7/F# E G#m C#m
They'll be glad, you're not bad  to  me.
  B7  E     B7/F# E  G#m C#m B7 E
- To  me, - To me. (Fade)
