I just love the Bellamy Brothers’ music.  It is so soothing and relaxing.  It’s also a blast to play.  Have fun with this great one from the reggae cowboys!

 

 

Capo 1st fret

 

Intro:  G  Am G Am

 

(G) When I’m Away from you well (Am) I can’t stay still my (G) thoughts won’t move from the (Am) way I feel.  (C) It happens time and time (Am) again, and the (C) circle never (D) ends.

 

(G) When I’m away from you well (Am) it hurts to say my (G) senses gone so (Am) far away.  (C) I’m up all through the (Am) night, and (C) I can’t tell wrong from (D) right.

 

(G) When I’m away from you I see (Am) great big clouds in the (G) fog and rain are the (Am) lonely crowds.  (C) They seem to be so (Am) blue.  Every (C) night I’m missing (D) you.

 

Chorus:

(C) When I’m away from you well (Am) the sun don’t shine.  The (C) moon don’t come and the (Am) words don’t rhyme.  (C) When I’m away from you I (Am) can’t let go and you (G) know oh you (D) know.

(C) It’s all the things you do that make (Am) life worth while, like the (C) way you talk and the (Am) way you smile.  (C) It’s all the things you do keep me (Am) hanging on and you (G) know don’t you (D) know.

 

(G) When I’m away from you well (Am) the wine won’t flow the (G) tides don’t turn and the (Am) wind don’t blow.  (C) I’m up all through the (Am) night, and (C) I can’t tell wrong from (D) right.

 

Repeat Chorus

 

(G) When I’m away from you well (Am) it hurts to say my (G) senses gone so (Am) far away.  (C) It happens time and time (Am) again, and the (C) circle never (D) ends.

 

Repeat Chorus
