To Leave It Behind(Chords)

	        

*After every Am7 chord, hit the D note (third fret, B string) and then walk the  
bass down from A (open A string) to G (third fret, low E) into the F chord. 

(Intro bounces between C and G, then sits on G for all eternity) 

      C                   G 
When we were greened and young as shoots 
      C         G/B    Am7 
The world took off beneath our boots 
   F                   G 
Oh we were picked when we were young 
 C                 G..... 
Gentle words and modesty 
  C               G 
When we turned towards the tide 
 C       G/B        Am7 
Choirs screamed in their delight 
   F               G 
Oh I am ripe and ready now 
   C         G/B         Am7 
My heart is heavy, it's going to fall  
           F       G      C     C7 
Out of my body 
      F          G 
Unto love, unto love 
   C            G/B         Am7 
Oh my heart is heavy, it's going to fall  
            F      G      C.... 
Out of my body 
  C                G 
Would have died without 
      C      G/B   Am7  
Your gardens of eternal life 
      F           G             C..... 
That you kept so well, kept so well 
 C                  G 
Could have lived without 
     C    G/B      Am7 
The fall into the tragedy 
     F                 G 
But I'm not Adam, and you're not Eve 
 C          G/B     Am7  
They were brave enough to leave  
                 F    G          C      C7 
When they were told, leave it behind 
            F           G 
Leave it behind, it behind 
            C     G/B      Am7 
They were brave enough to leave 
                 F     G         C.... 
When they were told, leave it behind 

(Interlude) 
C      G 
C   G/B   Am7 
F      G      C      C7 

             F          G 
Leave it behind, it behind 
           C       G/B      Am7 
They were brave enough to leave 
                 F  G            C..... 
When they were told, leave it behind 

(Outro bounces between C and G, and ends on C)
