[INTRO]

[G] [A] [A7]

[D] [G] [F#m] [A]

[VERSE 1]
[D]It was lat[G]e last nigh[F#m]t
And [A]all the band were [D]sleeping
It was [G]late last [F#m]night [A]
[D]I was list[G]ening to [F#m]
To the [A]generators h[D]umming
To the [G]tent-zipping [F#m]drunk
Quipping, [A]guy-rope tripping

[D] [G] [F#m] [A]

[VERSE 2]
[D]And in the [G]gathering [F#m]dew
I was [A]lucid as a [D]floodlight
I was [G]thinking of [F#m]you [A]
[D]But now I'm [G]back here [F#m]before you
You can [A]see me shaking[D]
Cos in that [F#m]moment I k[A]new
I just [A]knew, I just [A]knew, I just [A]knew

[VERSE 3]
[D]Forty [G]seasons have [F#m]flown
Since I [A]first sat down bes[D]ide you
In a [G]crowd on our [F#m]own [A]
And [D]how one [G]person could [F#m]thrill me
Occu[A7]py me and fulf[D]il me
I could [G]never have [F#m]known
I could [A]never [A]have [A]known

[CHORUS]
[G]How in the first of our [A]autumns
We'd be f[A7]alling so [Em]steeply
We could share so com[A]pletely
[G]How in the third of our [A]summers
When you f[A7]irst tried to [Em]leave me
You could cut me so [A]deeply
I could [A7]never have [A7]known

[D] [Daug] [D] [Daug] [G] [Gaug]

[BRIDGE]
[D]And on my [Daug]wilderness [D]journeys
With your [Daug]compass still [G]in me
All the [Gaug]shelters were [D]empty
Through the [Daug]longest of [D]winters
When I [Daug]called you down[G]river
But you [Gaug]gave me no [G]answer
And I [A]feared for my [Bm]mind
Until the [G]first signs of [Bm]springtime
You were [G]sick and I [Bm]saw you
And how [A]much you'd missed me
[Em]Now in our [G]eleventh [Em]autumn
You are [G]blonde from the [Em]summer
And I'm [G]back here bef[A]ore you
And you [A7]see me [A]shaking

[Link]
[G] [A] [Em] [A]

[CHORUS]
[G]Will you go with me, my [A]love?

From here together
[Em]From this quiet rented [A]house
[G]Will you go with me, my [A]love?

To face together
[Em]Every rise and every [A]slow decli[A7]ne
[Em]Will you go with [Bm]me
Through [F#m]dream and fanta[Em]sy?

[OUTRO]
[G]Through the op[A]en [Bm]fields
And [F#m]tangled vall[Em]eys?
[G]Will you go with [D]me
Through [F#m]grief and ecsta[Em]sy?
[G]And every shade [A]be-[Bm]tween
The [F#m]cold morning [Em]stars
And the [A]deep [A7]blue [G]sea [Bm]
