Open or Capo I*

F F F  F F  G  F

       F          F            F
It's a lesson too late for the learnin',
F       F   G         F
made of sand, made of sand
                  F              F
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin',
F       F   G         F
in your hand, in your hand.

        G                  F           F 
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        F            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        F                    F    
Well, I could have loved you better,
       F                 
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               F
you know that was the last thing on my mind.

           F         F          F
You've got reasons a-plenty for goin',
F      F   G        F
this I know, this I know.
                        F        F
For the weeds have been steadily growin',
F            F  G             F
please don't go, please don't go.

        G                  F           F 
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        F            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        F                    F    
Well, I could have loved you better,
       F                 
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               F
you know that was the last thing on my mind.

                  F             F
As we walk on, my thoughts keep tumblin',
F         F    G           F
round and round, round and round
                        F       F
Underneath our feet the subways rumblin',
F    F     G      F
underground, underground

        G                  F           F 
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        F            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        F                    F    
Well, I could have loved you better,
       F                 
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               F
you know that was the last thing on my mind.

               F          F
As I lie in my bed in the mornin',
F       F  G         F
without you, without you.
                 F             F
Every song in my breast lies a bornin',
F       F  G         F
without you, without you.

        G                  F           F 
Are you going away with no word of farewell,
           F        F            G    G7
will there be not a trace left behind?
        F                    F    
Well, I could have loved you better,
       F                 
didn't mean to be unkind;
    G                 G7               F
you know that was the last thing on my mind.

* Paxton used a capo in later performances
