The previous version was incomplete. This version contains all the lyrics and
chords. I do not know
the picking pattern for the guitar during the verses, chorus, or bridge so I did
not include it, I
included the chords for strumming (rhythm).
Chords:
D6sus4: X-X-0-7-8-7
Dmaj7sus2: X-X-0-9-10-9
D7: X-X-0-5-7-5
G/D: X-X-0-4-3-3
Gm/D: X-X-0-3-3-3
Am: X-0-2-2-1-0
D9: X-5-X-5-5-2 or X-5-4-5-5-X
Dm: X-X-0-2-3-1
D: X-X-0-2-3-2
Cadd9: X-3-2-0-3-0 (Note: a regular C chord works fine instead)
\* = begin strumming
*/ = end strumming (start picking again)

INTRO X 2
VERSE 1
D6sus4Even in the quieDmaj7sus2test moments,
D7I wish I G/Dknew,
D7 G/D Gm/D
what I had to do.
D6sus4And even though the Dmaj7sus2sun is shining,
D7well, I feel the G/Drain,
D7hear it comes G/Dagain,
Gm/D
dear.
\* Am D9
And even when you showed me,
my Amheart was out of tuneD9,
for there's a Dmshadow of doubt
Amthat's not letting me fCadd9ind you to soon. D
The Ammusic that you gavD9e me,
the Amlanguage of my souD9l,
Lord I wDmanna be with you, won't you
Amlet me come in from the cCadd9old? D Cadd9 D
CHORUS 1
Cadd9 Don't you let the Dsun fade away,
Cadd9 don't you let the Dsun fade away,
Cadd9 don't you let the suDn be leaving,
Cadd9 D */
won't you come to me soon?
VERSE 2
D6sus4Even though the Dmaj7sus2stars are listening,
D7and the oceans G/Ddeep,
D7 G/D Gm/D
I just go to sleep.
D6sus4And then I creDmaj7sus2ate the silent movie,
D7you become the G/Dstar,
D7is that what you G/Dare,
Gm/D
dear?
\* Am D9
Your whisper tells a secret,
your Amlaughter brings me joD9y,
and a Dmwonder of feeling I'm
Amnature's own little Cadd9boy. D
But Amstill the tears keep falD9ling,
they're Amraining from the skyD9.
Well there's a Dmlot of me got go
Amunder before I get Cadd9high. D Cadd9 D
CHORUS 2
Cadd9 Don't you let the Dsun disappear,
Cadd9 don't you let the Dsun disappear,
Cadd9 don't you let the Dsun be leaving,
no, you Cadd9come to me soDon.
BRIDGE
And cCadd9an't be leaving my liDfe.
Say that you Cadd9won't be leaving my liDfe.
Say won't you Cadd9please, say won't you plDease.
Lord won't you Cadd9come and get into my liDfe?
Say won't you Cadd9please, say won't you plDease,
Cadd9 D */
oh, Lord don't go...
VERSE 3
D6sus4And even when the Dmaj7sus2song is over,
D7where have I G/Dbeen,
D7 G/D Gm/D
was it just a dream?
D6sus4And though your dooDmaj7sus2r is always open,
D7where do I G/Dbegin,
D7may I please come G/Din,
Gm/D
dear.
NOTE: Strum last chord slow; each note should sound out individually, not as a whole.
