NOTES:
This is another gorgeous song that you might want to play for a loved one at
an appropriate moment. The song seems to be in Low Tune i.e. a semi-tone lower
than standard (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) so, if you want to play along you're going 
to have to re-tune or transpose. Chords below are for standard tuning.

  If I lost you now, would I   cry,
Dmaj7         C#m7  Dmaj7         Bm7  E7
  And hang my head    forlorn and sad?
A                    C#m7   F#m
  Would I greet each day in silence
Dmaj7           C#m7  Dmaj7           C#m7
  And wipe each tear,   each hopeless hope,
Dmaj7       C#m7        C         E  Esus4
Wordlessly away until I slip into shadow?

VERSE:
A                    C#m7    F#m
  Would the world go on    regardless
Dmaj7         C#m7  Dmaj7        Bm7  E7
  And foreign runes   of time pursued?
A           C#m7          F#m
Love is his name and ever shall be
Dmaj7            C#m7  Dmaj7        C#m7
  How could they know    what I let go?
    Dmaj7          C#m7           C          E  Esus4
I'd beg the bitter end of days to swallow me whole.
