[G] Now won't you [Em7] listen honey [A7] while I [D7] say
[G] How can you [Em7] tell me that you're [A7] goin[G] a-[D7]way
[B7] Don't say that [Em] we must [G7] part
[A7] Don't break my [D7] aching [G] heart
[G] You know I've [Em7] loved you true for [A7] many [D7] years
[B7] Loved you night and [Em] day [G7]
[C] How can you leave me can't you [G] see my [E7] tears
[A7] So listen [D7] while I [G] say [G7]
[C] After you've gone [Cm] and left me crying
[Gmaj7] After you've gone [E7] there's no denying
[A7] You'll feel blue, [D7] You'll feel sad
[G] You'll miss the [Gmaj7] dearest pal you've [E7] ever had
[C] There'll come a time [Cm] now don't forget it
[Gmaj7] There'll come a time [E7] when you'll regret it
[Am] Some [E7] day [Am] when you grow [Cm] lonely
[G] Your heart will [B7] break like mine
and [Em] you'll want me [A7] only
[G] After you've gone [D7] After you've gone [G] aw-[Cm]-ay-[G]ay
[G] Don't you re-[Em7]member how you [A7] used to [D7] say
[G] You'd always [Em7] love me in the [A7] same old [D7] way
[B7] But now it's [Em] very [G7] strange
[A7] That you should [D7] ever change [G] Perhaps some [Em7] other
has [A7] won your [D7] heart [B7] tempted you a-[Em]way [G7] [C]
But let me warn you tho' we're [G] miles a-[E7]part [A7]
You'll re-[D7]gret it some [G] day
[C] After you've gone, [Cm] after the break up
[Gmaj7] After you've gone, [E7] you're gonna wake up
[A7] And you will find [D7] that you were blind
[G] To let somebody [Gmaj7] come and [E7] change your mind
[C] After the years [Cm] we've been together
[Gmaj7] The joy and all the tears, [E7] in all kinds of weather
[Am] Some [E7] day [Am] when you're down [Cm] hearted
[G] You'll long [G] to [B7] be with me [Em] right back where we
[A7] started, [G] after you've gone,
[D7] after you've gone [G] away
