(F)If I'd only come and (Bb)gone
The way I've always done with (C)summer girls be(F)fore
Shared one (Bb)night with you and (C)never reached for (F)more
Then we (C)wouldn't face this long and painful righting of the wrong
If I'd just (F)come and gone

If I hadn't stayed so (Bb)long
And merely parked my dusty (C)boots outside your (F)door
Tracked no (Bb)footprints 'cross your (C)polished hardwood (F)floor
If I'd have (C)left you in your doorway smilin' drowsy at the dawn
If I'd just (F)come and gone

Then I'd be (Bb)on a shinin' (c)silver plane (F)dippin' into Denver
Or a (Bb)schooner blowin' (C)down The Biscayne (F)Bay
You'd be (Bb)safely tucked a(C)way among the (F)pleasure I'd remember
Stead of (C)lyin' here beside me fearin' restless thoughts inside me
That might awaken with the breakin' of each (F)new day

If you'd only stopped to (Bb)read
Cold hard words I carved on (C)other bedroom (F)wall
And heard the (Bb)mornin' coffee (C)truths I told 'em (F)all
I'd still be (C)on your lips like some unfinished half-remembered song

You'd never have loved me 

If I'd just (F)come and gone
If I'd only come and (Bb)gone
If I'd only come and (C)gone
If I'd only come and (F)gone...

How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord Bb

    Bb is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: Bb ↔ C

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
