Original version is sung in the Key of C
But plays nicely in Drop D tuning DADGBE
(From the Album - Twice Around The Houses 1972 – Jonathan Kelly
.. PS .. Every Track on this Album is a Gem for any Singer/Guitarist)
This neads to be played with a steady Tick-Tock feel
<<<<<< 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
