Lyrics

After You've Gone
Words & Music by Henry Creamer & Turner Layton
Recorded by Harold Morton 2009


FM7               Bb9
After you've gone     and left me cryin',

C  C/B        Am7  Am7/G   A7
After you've gone             there's no denyin',

D9                Bm7-5       E7
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad,

       C         C/B    Am7      Am7/G    C   C/B  C7
You'll miss the dearest pal that you have ev - er had.

FM7                  Bb9
There'll come a time  now don't forget it 

  C      C/B     Am7   Am7/G   A7
There'll come a time               when you regret it.

 Dm    Edim  Dm7               Bb9
Some   day      when you grow lonely,

      C         C/B         E7               Am      Cdim
Your heart will break like mine and you will want me only,

C  C/B         Am7  Am7/G   Dm7              G     C
Af-ter you've gone,            after you've gone away.


(Suggested turnaround: C   C - C/B - Am7 - Am7/G - Fdim(III) - G  )


FM7            Bb9
After I'm gone,    after we break up,

C  C/B     Am7  Am7/G  A7
Af-ter I'm gone           you're gonna wake up;

D9            Bm7-5      E7
You will find you were blind

    C      C/B   Am7  Am7/G      C    C/B   C7
To let somebody come along and change your mind.

FM7             Bb9
After the years    we've been together,

C        C/B     Am7   Am7/G   A7
Through joy and tears,            all kinds of weather,

Dm   Edim  Dm7               Bb9
Some day      blue and down-hearted,

        C      C/B     E7            Am        Cdim
You'll long to be with me again back where you started,

C  C/B      Am7     Am7/G  Dm7           G     C      Fdim    C
Af-ter I'm gone,              after I'm gone away.
