Verse 1:
       Am
When she was home she was a swan
       F
When she was out she was a tiger
   Dm            Em
And a tiger in the wild is not tied to anyone

       Am
When she was lost, she was a toad
     F
The day I found her on the road
      Dm
I gave her water and a rose
      Em
And as she stretched

The sun rose


Chorus:
Am   F   Dm
Go,  go,  go
  Em
Go away, go away, go away
Am   F   Dm
Go,  go,  go
  Em
Go away, go away


Verse 2:
       Am
When she was young

She was a cow
      F
And all day long

She milked the stars
  Dm
She taught me

"Women to survive
     Em
Must be unfaithful to their child"
      Am
Of all the wonders of the world
     F
She was a lady with a bird
       Dm
She must have had so many lives
      Em
Was it the first?

Was it the last?


Chorus:
Am F  Dm
Go, go, go
  Em
Go away, go away, go away
Am F  Dm
Go, go, go
  Em
Go away, go away


Verse 3:
       Am
When she was ill

She was a whale
      F
She was so patient, she would wait
    Dm
Until I sang her by the lane
       Em
The sweetest tunes to ease her pain

       Am
When she was old

She was an owl
     F
I saw her swaying in the sky
       Dm
And when she died inside my arms
   Em
I realised she was a cat


Chorus:
Am F  Dm
Go, go, go
  Em
Go away, go away, go away
Am F  Dm
Go, go, go
  Em
Go away, go away

If my child (go)

Will have her eyes (go)
 Em
(Go away, go away)

To see through me (go)

      F
And when I die (go)
     Dm
And I am born again (go)
 Em
(Go away, go away)
      Am
What will I be (go)

A tree? (Go away, go away)
