I've written the lyrics out by ear so I'm sorry if any of them are wrong
WILL VARLEY
WHEN YOU'RE GONE
AS THE CROW FLIES
Em  D  Em  D  Em  D  C  Em
EmWell her eyes were as Gwild as the EmCornish Gstorm
EmBut her heart like a Gcliff's all Dbattered and CwornCadd9  C  
EmWell we met in the GSpring when she fEmits like a Gglove
EmAnd I'd bring her the Groses like a DNoah's CdoveCadd9  C  
EmBut the madness of Gyouth is the Emcardinal Gsin
EmI left her in the Ggarden as the AuDtumn set inC  Cadd9  C  
She said "EmOh I'll be Dlonesome when you're Emgone"
"I'll be Dlonesome"
Em"I'll be Dlonesome when you're Cgone, when you're Emgone"
EmWell I travelled across the Gocean onto WEmicklow SGtreet
EmThere was more there to Gsmoke than there was Dthere to CeatCadd9  C  
EmAnd the alleyways Gturned into Emhell and Gfire
EmAll of their eGyes burned in Done cold dCesirCadd9eC  
EmAnd the view from our Geyes began to fEmeel so tGight
EmI woke up in the mGorning with the Dneon ClighCadd9tsC  
EmAnd from the horns of the tGaxis to the Emcrashing of the Gsea
EmThe words that she Gsaid kept on Dholding CmeCadd9  C  
She said "EmOh I'll be Dlonesome when you're Emgone"
"I'll be Dlonesome"
Em"I'll be Dlonesome when you're Cgone, when you're Emgone"
EmWell her eyes were as Gwild as the EmCornish Gstorm
EmBut now her heart like the Gcliff's all Dbattered and CwornCadd9  C  
EmNow I'm heading back Ghome to where the Emships come Gin
EmAnd I'm counting the Gstars now for Dall of my CsinCadd9  C  
EmAnd I'm hopin' and I'm Gprayin' as I'm wEmalking down the Gstreet
EmThat she's waiting in the Ggarden with the Droses at her CfeetCadd9  C  
Singing "OEmh I'll be lDonesome when you're gEmone"
"I'll be Dlonesome"
Em"I'll be Dlonesome when you're Cgone"Em  
"Oh I'll bEme lonesome Dwhen you're gone"Em

WILL VARLEY

WHEN YOU'RE GONE

AS THE CROW FLIES

Em D Em D Em D C Em

Em G Em G

Well her eyes were as wild as the Cornish storm

Em G D C Cadd9 C

But her heart like a cliff's all battered and worn

Em G Em G

Well we met in the Spring when she fits like a glove

Em G D C Cadd9 C

And I'd bring her the roses like a Noah's dove

Em G Em G

But the madness of youth is the cardinal sin

Em G D C Cadd9 C

I left her in the garden as the Autumn set in

Em D Em

She said "Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

Em D C Em

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone, when you're gone"

Em G Em G

Well I travelled across the ocean onto Wicklow Street

Em G D C Cadd9 C

There was more there to smoke than there was there to eat

Em G Em G

And the alleyways turned into hell and fire

Em G D C Cadd9 C

All of their eyes burned in one cold desire

Em G Em G

And the view from our eyes began to feel so tight

Em G D C Cadd9 C

I woke up in the morning with the neon lights

Em G Em G

And from the horns of the taxis to the crashing of the sea

Em G D C Cadd9 C

The words that she said kept on holding me

Em D Em

She said "Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

Em D C Em

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone, when you're gone"

Em G Em G

Well her eyes were as wild as the Cornish storm

Em G D C Cadd9 C

But now her heart like the cliff's all battered and worn

Em G Em G

Now I'm heading back home to where the ships come in

Em G D C Cadd9 C

And I'm counting the stars now for all of my sin

Em G Em G

And I'm hopin' and I'm prayin' as I'm walking down the street

Em G D C Cadd9 C

That she's waiting in the garden with the roses at her feet

Em D Em

Singing "Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

Em D C Em

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

Em D Em

"Oh I'll be lonesome when you're gone"

"I'll be lonesome"

Em D C Em

"I'll be lonesome when you're gone, when you're gone"

Em D Em D Em D C
