Judy Collins
Key: Bb

-6  -6  -6  -6 -6   7-6 -5*
I loved you in the morn-ing
-5   -6  -6  -6  -6  7-6-5*
Our kiss-es deep and  warm,
-5    -5  -5 -5 -5  -5* -5  
Your head up-on the pil-low
5   -3* -5  -5  -5  -5 -5*-55-3*
Like a sleep-y gold-en   storm.
7   7   7  7   7*  -6  
Man-y have be-fore us
-5* 7    7   7  7   7  7*7-6
I know that we are not  new,
-5* -6-6 -6  -6 7-6 -5*
In cit-y and in for-est
-5     -6    -6  -6 -6  7-6-5*
They smiled like me and  you,
-5   -5   -5  -5 -5* -5   5
Now it’s come to dis-tan-ces
-3*  -5  -5 -5  -5 -5*-55
And both of us must try,
-3*    7   7    7   7   7*7 -6-5*
Your eyes are soft with sor- row,
5     -5 5  5  -55 5  -55  5  -5-5*-55
Hey, that’s no way to say good- bye.

-6  -6   -6  -6  -6  -6  7  -6
I’m not look-ing for an-oth-er
-5*-5 -6  -6  -6 -6 7-6-5*-5
As  I wan-der in my   time,
-5   -5 -5 -5 -5*-5 5
Walk me to the cor-ner
-3*  -5    -5  -5  -5 -5*-55-3* 
Our steps will al-ways rhyme,
7     7  7    7   7*    7  -6
You know my love goes with you
-5*  7    7    7     7 7*7-6-5*
As your love stays with  me,
-6    -6  -6  -6  -6   7   -6
It’s just the way it chang-es
-5*  -5   -6    -6  -6  -6 7-6-5*-5
Like the shore-line and the  sea,
-5    -5   -5  -5 -5* -5    5
Let’s not talk of love or change
-3*  -5   -5  -5   -5 -5*-55-3*
Or things we can’t un-  tie,
7      7   7    7    7  -77 -6-5*
Your eyes are soft with sor- row,
5     -5 5  5  -55 5  -55  5  -5-5*-55
Hey, that’s no way to say good- bye.
