(F6)I’ll

(Fdim7)go (Gm7)back.

I know (Gdim7)now that (F6)I’ll (Abdim)go

(Gm7)back, that my (A)place is (Dm)there and

(Am)there it will (Bmaj7)al ways (Bbmaj7)be,

there where (A7)I can (Dm)hear (Dm7)the (Bdim7)song of the (Bbdim7)Sa bi (Dm7)á.

(F6)I’ll

(Fdim7)go (Gm7)back.

I know (Gdim7)now that (Ab)I’ll

(Bdim)go (Bbm7)back.

I will (Eb7)lie in the (G#m)shad ow (D#m)of a (Fm7)palm that’s no (Bb7)long er (Ebm7)there,

and pick a (Ebm7)flow’r

that does n’t (C#m)grow.
