<<<<<< Leave Them Go >>>>>>

Intro: Pick around the D


       D                Dmaj7              G             D
In the secret - of your silence - let your sadness - be unfold
       E                Em                  D                  Keep the D going
In the Daylight of your reason – leave them go - leave them go
         D             Dmaj7                 G                     D
None so weary – as the traveller – when he’s weighed down – in his soul
             E                Em                       D    G          D   Stop   
And you must bear it – like a pilgrim – and leave then go - leave them go

Chorus
D         F#m               G           Gm
Everybody knows the pain it is to lose 
    D               F#m           G
And no-one wants to see or make a show
      D                E       Em               D
She’s not that kind of woman ~     so leave her go


          D               Dmaj7               G                D
Leave the sailor - to the seaway – leave the shepherd - to the fold
                 E                    Em                    D    G          D
And leave your loved one - to her chosen ~   and leave then go – leave them go



Chorus
D         F#m               G           Gm
Everybody knows the pain it is to lose 
    D               F#m           G
And no-one wants to see or make a show
      D                E       Em               D
She’s not that kind of woman ~     so leave her go




          D               Dmaj7               G                D
Leave the sailor - to the seaway – leave the shepherd - to the fold
                 E                    Em                    D    G          D
And leave your loved one - to her chosen ~   and leave then go – leave them go

G          D
leave then go
