Intro: C/G---F
C/G-----------------------F
Laid the blessings on the ground
------------C/G
Softening of sound
----------------F
Draws us close again
C/G------------------------F
Stay, stay and watch the clothes
----------------C/G
till they seize to close
-------------F
like empty promises
 
C/G G-------------F------------------C/G------G
Why Why did you go Why did you go away
C/G-G------------F------------------C/G-----G
Why Why did you go Why did you go away
 
C/G--F--(x2)
 
C/G-------------------F--------------------C/G
There's nothing I can say nothing I can do
----------------F
Bring you back again
C/G----------------------F
This whole life I know is true
------------C/G----------------------------F
Its all fallen through and so I reach for you
 
C/G-G------------F------------------C/G-----G
Why Why did you go Why did you go away
C/G-G------------F------------------C/G-----G
Why Why did you go Why did you go away
 
F--------G-----F------------------G
Don't you care it may seem unfair
F------------------------------C/G G
Still the things you ought to borrow
 
F--------G-----F---------G
Don't you find it might seem unkind?
F--------------------------C/G----G
By the way it drowned in sorrow
 
C/G-G------------F------------------C/G-----G
Why Why did you go Why did you go away
C/G-G------------F------------------C/G-----G
Why Why did you go Why did you go away Babe...
 
That lil hammer on thing that he is doing during the intro and verses can be done by
the C/G and F chords, specifically the finger on the B string every strum

Is great , i love the lower finger up and down. If you listen to the song and time it right is simple but sounds awesome.
