[Verse 1]
C D7 G7
Now won't you listen dearie while I say
C D7 G7
How could you tell me that you're goin' a-way
E7 Am E Am D7
Don't say that we must part

Don't break my aching heart

Loved you night and day

How can you leave me, can't you see my tears

Listen while I say
[Chorus]

After you've gone, and left me crying
C A7
After you've gone, there's no denying

There'll come a time, now don't forget it

Someday, when you grow lonely

Your heart will break like mine, and you'll want me only

After you've gone

After you've gone away
[Chorus]

After I'm gone, after we break up
C A7
After I'm gone, you're gonna wake up

You were blind
C C7
To let somebody come and change your mind
[Verse 3]

Their joy and tears, all kinds of weather

Someday, blue and down hearted
C E7 Am D
You'll long to be with me right back where you started
[Outro]

After I'm gone
G7 C
After I'm gone away
