BmSitting in a F#mDixon garden,Bm wishing that F#myou and I weren't parting
For the lGast time, the lAast time
And I said,Bm "Why you want toF#m get married anBmyway? That man's gF#mot a family"
And then you say,G "Couldn't wait on Ayou forever, or could I?"
Bm "GuessF#m not"
Bm F#m
BmThere's an awkward F#msilence for the first timeBm, so many yearF#ms
BmAnd as I recall you F#mused to be mine, not some pGroperty of hAis
And I sing Bm"Ah laF#m don'tBm go, ah F#mla stay
BmAh la don'tF#m go, Gdon't go aBmway.&quF#mot;
Bm F#m
BmMaybe F#mI should apologize,Bm for I treated youF#m so
BmAnd I'm so sF#morry that I left you Ghere, I just wAish I could have known
You say,Bm "You neverF#m can telBml, and it's notF#m your fault
BmSee these things just haF#mppen when you're dealing Gwith the hands on a Aclock of a woman"
Bm F#m (x2)
Bm"And he treaF#mts me fine, aBmnd anyways I'm getF#mting older"
She said, &Bmquot;Oh but I sF#mtill miss you sometGimes, when the weather's getAting colder"
And she sang Bm"Ah laF#m don'tBm go, ah F#mla stay
BmAh la don'tF#m go, Gdon't go aBmway.&quF#mot;

She said &qEmuot;Don't makF#me me cry,
'Cause it's Genough just to F#mknow
That I won't Gever hold you F#mclose
And I won't Gever smell your F#mskin,
And I kGnow how I'm supposed to feel,
AHere we go again singing,Bm "AF#mh la don'Bmt go, ah F#mla stay
BmAh la don'tF#m go, Gdon't go awBmay.&quoF#mt;
