When Your Lover Has Gone

Gm           Cm/G          Gm   
For ages and ages,     the poets
     Ebm6
 and sages
Cdim     Gm              D7/13-  
Of      love won d'rous love     
 D7     Gm  D7/13-
 always sing
    G7       C9   Cdim    Bb7   
But ask any lover and    you'll 
        Bbdim
soon discover
A7     D            A7 Bbdim    
The heartaches that romance can 
Cm6
bring
     Gm           Cm/G       
What good is the scheming, the 
   Gm           Ebm6
planning and dreaming
Cdim   Gm             D7/13-   
That  comes with each new      
D7     Gm  D7/13-
love affair
     G7             C9     Cdim  
The love that you cherish, so    
   Bb7           Bbdim
    often might perish
A7    D             A7 Bbdim   
And leaves you with castles    
     Cm6
    in air
