Until Its Time For You To Go


Beautiful ballad about a love that cannot last. It’s been covered by Barbra Streisand, Elvis Presley, and Neil Diamond to name just three, but for me Buffy's versions are always the best of all! This transcribes a wonderful 2011 live performance from Bluesfest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXumW8pRCio Standard tuning capo 2 Verse 1 ======= G G/F# G/F E7 You're not a dream you're not an Angel you're a man Am Am/maj7 Am7 D/F# I'm not a queen I'm a woman take my hand G G/F# G/F E7 We'll make a space in the lives that we planned Am D/F# G And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go Verse 2 ======= G G/F# G/F E7 Yes we're different worlds a-part we're not the same Am Am/maj7 Am7 D/F# We laughed and played at the start like in a game G G/F# G/F E7 You could have stayed outside my heart but in you came Am D/F# G And here you'll stay until it's time for you to go Refrain 1 ========= Ab F G Don't ask why Ab F G Don't ask how B7 E Don't ask forever Am D Love me now Verse 3 ======= G G/F# G/F E7 This love of mine had no be-ginning it had no end Am Am/maj7 Am7 D/F# I was an oak now I'm a willow now I can bend G G/F# G/F E7 And though I'll never in my life see you a-gain Am D/F# G Still I'll stay until it's time for you to go Refrain 2 ========= Ab F G Don't ask why love me Ab F G Don't ask how love me B7 E Don't ask forever of me Am D Love me love me now Verse 4 ======= G G/F# G/F E7 You're not a dream you're not an Angel you're a man Am Am/maj7 Am7 D/F# I'm not a queen I'm a woman take my hand G G/F# G/F E7 We'll make a space in the lives that we planned Am D/F# G And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go Am D/F# G And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go Refrain / End ============= Ab F G oooh ooh oohhh ----------------------------------------- I hope I've done it justice!
