After You've Gone

Words & Music:

Henry Creamer & Turner Layton

 

There is an arrangement of this in the September 2005 issue of Acoustic Guitar.

 

Eb               Ebm

After you've gone and left me crying;

Bb                G7

After you've gone, there's no denying

C7               F7

You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad.

Bb                                      Bb7

You've missed the dearest friend you've ever had.

 

Eb                   Ebm

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

Bb                  G7

There'll come a time when you'll regret it.

Cm   G7  Cm               Ab7

Some day, when you grow lonely,

Bb              D7                  Gm              A7

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

Bb             G7  C7             F7   Bb  Fm  Bb7

After you've gone, after you've gone away.

 

After we paid our dues together,

You should have stayed through all that nasty weather.

Someday, while you're feeling badly,

You'll need the only one that loves you so madly.

But I'll be gone, yes, I'll be gone to stay.

Yeah, after I've gone, after I've gone away.  [end on Eb]
