[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

D G F#m A
[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
[Chorus]
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

D Daug D Daug G Gaug
[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
[Link]
G A Em A
[Chorus]
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
