Capo on 5th fret
              
 
 
Em      G           C 
I dug a single seed into the ground 
C         D      Am 
I hope it grows, grows 
Em   G           C 
In a year or two if you're around 
C            D     Am 
You'll see a rose, rose 
Em      G           C 
Pack me up and keep me hidden somewhere 
C    D       Am 
That you can find me 
Em   G         C 
On a train to Paris going nowhere 
C       D             Am 
Trouble bridge behind me 
 
      Em          G         C 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
                 C        D          Am 
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone 
      Em          G         C 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
        C           D       Am 
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone 
 
Em G C C D Am 
When you're, when you're gone 
Em G C C D Am 
When you're gone 
 
Em     G             C 
Golden leaves are dancing on the ground 
C       D          Am 
It's getting cold, cold 
Em        G             C 
Safe from time, we'll be forever young 
C  D       Am 
Never old, old 
Em   G          C 
See upon a fire out in space, 
C       D        Am 
Zooming up behind me 
Em      G          C 
All the wonder written in your face 
C   D            Am 
Was there beside me 
 
      Em          G         C 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
                 C        D          Am 
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone 
      Em          G         C 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
        C           D       Am 
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone 
Oh oh 
Em G C C D Am 
When you're when you're gone 
Oh oh 
Em G C C D Am 
When you're gone 
 
Em                   G 
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me 
C 
Is it really over? 
C                    D                    Am 
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me (is it over?) 
Em                   G 
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me 
C 
Is it really over? (Yeah) 
C                    D                   Am 
Bring it back to me, bring it back to me  
 
 
      Em          G         C 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
                 C        D          Am 
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone

Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone 
      Em          G         C 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
                 C        D          Am 
'Cause you won't be there to love me when you're gone 
      Em          G         C 
Don't be gone too long (too long) 
        C           D       Am 
Tell me who's gonna love me when you're gone
