-The Waterboys-
'When Ye Go Away'
From the glorious Fishermans Blues
Sounds good played with a capo at the fifth. Sounds like mike scott had a capo there 
he recorded it to me...
The wee lead lick thats normally played on slide:

DNow he's brought down the Amrain
and the indian Csummer is Dthrough
In the Dmorning you'll be Amfollowing
your tCrail again fair play to you
You Dain't calling me to Amjoin you
and I'm Cspoken for anyway
DBut I will Amcry Cwhen ye go Daway
DI will Dcry Amwhen ye go Daway
DYour beauty is Amfamiliar
and your Cvoice is like a Dkey
DThat opens up my Amsoul
And torches Cup a fire inside of me
DYour coat is made of Ammagic
and Caround your table angels play
DAnd I will Amcry Cwhen ye go Daway
DI will Amcry Cwhen ye go Daway
DSomebody left us Amwhisky
and the Cnight is very Dyoung
I've got Dsome to say and more to Amtell
and the Cwords will soon be spilling from my tongue
DI will rave and I will Amramble
I'll do Ceverything but make you stay
DThen I will Amcry Cwhen ye go Daway
DI will Amcry Cwhen ye go Daway
