G      A  A7
D  G  F#m  A
[Verse 1]
DIt was latGe last nighF#mt
And Aall the band were Dsleeping
It was Glate last F#mnightA  
DI was listGening toF#m  
To the Agenerators hDumming
To the Gtent-zipping F#mdrunk
Quipping, Aguy-rope tripping
[Link]
D  G  F#m  A
[Verse 2]
DAnd in the Ggathering F#mdew
I was Alucid as a Dfloodlight
I was Gthinking of F#myouA  
DBut now I'm Gback here F#mbefore you
You can Asee me shakingD  
Cos in that F#mmoment I kAnew
I just Aknew, I just Aknew, I just Aknew
[Verse 3]
DForty Gseasons have F#mflown
Since I Afirst sat down besDide you
In a Gcrowd on our F#mownA  
And Dhow one Gperson could F#mthrill me
OccuA7py me and fulfDil me
I could Gnever have F#mknown
I could Anever Ahave Aknown
[Chorus]
GHow in the first of our Aautumns
We'd be fA7alling so Emsteeply
We could share so comApletely
GHow in the third of our Asummers
When you fA7irst tried to Emleave me
You could cut me so Adeeply
I could A7never have A7known

D  Daug  D  Daug  G  Gaug
[Bridge]
DAnd on my Daugwilderness Djourneys
With your Daugcompass still Gin me
All the Gaugshelters were Dempty
Through the Dauglongest of Dwinters
When I Daugcalled you downGriver
But you Gauggave me no Ganswer
And I Afeared for my Bmmind
Until the Gfirst signs of Bmspringtime
You were Gsick and I Bmsaw you
And how Amuch you'd missed me
EmNow in our Geleventh Emautumn
You are Gblonde from the Emsummer
And I'm Gback here befAore you
And you A7see me Ashaking
[Link]
G  A  Em  A
[Chorus]
GWill you go with me, my Alove?
From here together
EmFrom this quiet rented Ahouse
GWill you go with me, my Alove?
To face together
EmEvery rise and every Aslow decliA7ne
EmWill you go with Bmme
Through F#mdream and fantaEmsy?
[Outro]
GThrough the opAen Bmfields
And F#mtangled vallEmeys?
GWill you go with Dme
Through F#mgrief and ecstaEmsy?
GAnd every shade Abe-Bmtween
The F#mcold morning Emstars
And the Adeep A7blue GseaBm

[Verse 1]

D G F#m

It was late last night

A D

And all the band were sleeping

G F#m A

It was late last night

D G F#m

I was listening to

A D

To the generators humming

G F#m

To the tent-zipping drunk

Quipping, guy-rope tripping

[Link]

D G F#m A

[Verse 2]

D G F#m

And in the gathering dew

A D

I was lucid as a floodlight

G F#m A

I was thinking of you

D G F#m

But now I'm back here before you

A D

You can see me shaking

F#m A

Cos in that moment I knew

A A A

I just knew, I just knew, I just knew

[Verse 3]

D G F#m

Forty seasons have flown

A D

Since I first sat down beside you

G F#m A

In a crowd on our own

D G F#m

And how one person could thrill me

A7 D

Occupy me and fulfil me

G F#m

I could never have known

A A A

I could never have known

[Chorus]

G A

How in the first of our autumns

A7 Em

We'd be falling so steeply

We could share so completely

G A

How in the third of our summers

A7 Em

When you first tried to leave me

You could cut me so deeply

A7 A7

I could never have known

[Bridge]

D Daug D

And on my wilderness journeys

Daug G

With your compass still in me

Gaug D

All the shelters were empty

Daug D

Through the longest of winters

Daug G

When I called you downriver

Gaug G

But you gave me no answer

A Bm

And I feared for my mind

G Bm

Until the first signs of springtime

G Bm

You were sick and I saw you

And how much you'd missed me

Em G Em

Now in our eleventh autumn

G Em

You are blonde from the summer

G A

And I'm back here before you

A7 A

And you see me shaking

[Chorus]

G A

Will you go with me, my love?

From here together

From this quiet rented house

Will you go with me, my love?

To face together

Em A A7

Every rise and every slow decline

Em Bm

Will you go with me

F#m Em

Through dream and fantasy?

[Outro]

G A Bm

Through the open fields

F#m Em

And tangled valleys?

G D

Will you go with me

F#m Em

Through grief and ecstasy?

G A Bm

And every shade be-tween

F#m Em

The cold morning stars

A A7 G Bm

And the deep blue sea
