A F#m   D6         D9    A6  D7M          D9 
Go    away, little girl, go away, little girl 
  Em7     A    Em7     A   Edim D  D7M D6 
I'm not supposed to be alone with you 
  Bm         F#m7      Bm 
I know that your lips are sweet 
 Em           B7/13- Em7  Em6 
But our lips must never meet 
    G6       G6/F#  G/B     Fdim        A 
I belong to someone else, and I must be true 
A F#m   D6         D9    A6  D7M          D9 
Go    away, little girl, go away, little girl 
     Em7        A     Em7    A      D   D7M   D7 
It's hurtin' me more each minute that you delay 
  F#m     G        G/F#   Em7 
When you are near me like this 
   G     Gdim A7     D  F#m   B7 
You're much too hard to resist 
  B7/F#    G         Em7 
So, go away, little girl 
  Em7/9 G/B A4/7   A7/13- D 
Before  I   beg   you to stay
