G 
Oh you say that you're goin' away and leave me 
                                   D7 
And you say you ain't never coming back 
             G                        C 
That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing 
            G         D7            G 
And you're gonna head off down the track 

                       G                                    D7 
But darlin' before you go be sure, you know how much I love you 
                                             G 
And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had 
                                            C 
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces 
            G                D7             G 
So take it slow be sure you know before you go 

G 
Oh your wounded pride has blinded your reason 
                                         D7 
And right now you want to hurt me if you can 
        G                                   C 
The man is waiting here to take you to the station 
            G                 D7             G 
And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand 

                       G                                    D7 
But darlin' before you go be sure, you know how much I love you 
                                             G 
And that I'm sorry for the quarrels that we had 
                                            C 
If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces 
            G                D7             G 
So take it slow be sure you know before you go
