The[Am] time has come to[G] part my[C] love[D] I must go a[G]way
I[Am] leave you[D] now my[G] darling[C] girl no[D] longer can I[G] stay
My[C] heart like[D] yours is[C] breaking[Em] togeather [D]we'll prove[C] strong
The[B7] road I take wil[Em]l show the[D] world the[C] suffering[D] that goes[Am] on
The gentle clasp that holds my hand must loosen and let go
Please help me through the door though instinct tells you no
Our vow it is eternal and will bring you dreadful pain
But if our demands aren't recognised don't call me back again
How their sorrow totched us all in those final days
When it was time she held the door and touched his shallow face
The flame he lit by leaving is still burning strong
By the lights it's plain to see the suffering still goes on
The time has come to part my love I must go away
I leave yoy now my darling girl no longer can I stay
I[Am] leave you[D] now my[G] darling[C] girl no[D] longer can I[G] stay
My[C] heart like[D] yours is[C] breaking[Em] togeather [D]we'll prove[C] strong
The[B7] road I take wil[Em]l show the[D] world the[C] suffering[D] that goes[Am] on
The gentle clasp that holds my hand must loosen and let go
Please help me through the door though instinct tells you no
Our vow it is eternal and will bring you dreadful pain
But if our demands aren't recognised don't call me back again
How their sorrow totched us all in those final days
When it was time she held the door and touched his shallow face
The flame he lit by leaving is still burning strong
By the lights it's plain to see the suffering still goes on
The time has come to part my love I must go away
I leave yoy now my darling girl no longer can I stay
