Am                 C
Down by the water, under the willow 
D                   Em
Sits a lone ranger, minding the willow 
Am                     C    Am
He and his wife, once lived happily 
D                   Em
Planted a seed, that grew through the reeds 

F                            C
Summers and winters, through snowy Decembers 
Em               Am
Sat by the water close to the embers 
F                           C            Em        G
Missing out the lives that they once had before 


[Chorus]

            F
I WOULDN'T LEAVE YOU 
        C
I WOULD HOLD YOU 
         G         Dm
WHEN THE A ST DAY COMES 
            F
WHAT IF YOU NEED ME 
          C
WON'T YOU HOLD ME 
       Em         Am     Dm
ON THE A ST DAY, OUR A ST DAY 


[Verse 2]

Am                 C
Mr. & Mrs., dreamed of a willow 
D                   Em
Carving their names, into their willow 
Am                     C    Am
If he had spoken, love would return 
D                   Em
spoken inside, too soft to be heard 

F                            C
Summers and winters, through snowy Decembers 
Em               Am
Sat by the water, remembering embers 
F                           C            Em        G
Missing out the lives that they once had before 


[Chorus]

            F
I WOULDN'T LEAVE YOU 
        C
I WOULD HOLD YOU 
         G         Dm
WHEN THE A ST DAY COMES 
            F
WHAT IF YOU NEED ME 
          C
WON'T YOU HOLD ME 
       Em         Am     Dm
ON THE A ST DAY, OUR A ST DAY 


[Interlude]

F  Am  G  C  Dm
AHHHHH, AHHHHH...
F  Am  E  Dm
AHHHHH, AHHHHH...

C                                 G
Somewhere the timing will all come together 
    C                        G
The mishaps will turn into sunny Decembers
     F            G         Am              Em         Dm 
The lovers will be able to find their willow  


[Chorus]

(quietly single strum chords)

G              F
I WOULDN'T LEAVE YOU 
        C
I WOULD HOLD YOU 
         G         Dm
WHEN THE A ST DAY COMES 

(Loud)

G           F
I WOULDN'T LEAVE YOU 
        C
I WOULD HOLD YOU 
         G         Dm
WHEN THE A ST DAY COMES 
            F
WHAT IF YOU NEED ME 
          C
WON'T YOU HOLD ME 
       Em         Am     Dm
ON THE A ST DAY, OUR A ST DAY 
            F
WHAT IF YOU NEED ME 
          C
WON?T YOU HOLD ME 
       Em         Am     Dm
ON THE A ST DAY, OUR A ST DAY 


[Outro]

F  Am  G  C  Dm
AHHHHH, AHHHHH...
F  Am  E  Dm
AHHHHH, AHHHHH...
