# # #Stay, as performed by Alison Krauss #written by Allyson Taylor-Larry Byrom #charted by Bo Frazer #with help from Emer M. Doherty # ------------------------------------------- #Notes: Alison does this in F#, (capo on fret #4) #If you can play the style where you hit the bass string and then #strum, then (on both verse and chorus) hit the bass notes in the #D to Em progression in a descending scale; i.e., #D A/7 Bm A G D/3 Em so the bass notes are: D C# B A G F# E Stay Verse1: D A Bm Where have you been, A G My long lost friend? D Em A It's good to see you again. D A Bm Come and sit for a while; A G I've missed your smile. D Em A Today the past is goodbye. F Em D Time can't erase F Em D A A lover's embrace. Bm Can't you hear it calling? E A new day dawning G F G You were longing to find. Verse2: Love's taken you far Away from my heart, And I've been here all alone. Have your eyes failed to find What took you from mine, A vision that's faded through time? But you sail away, Farther than a summer's day, Cause you heard it calling, A new day dawning, You were longing to find. Chorus: D A G A G There is a way to make you stay. D Em A Darlin don't turn away. D A G A G Don't doubt your heart, and keep us apart; D F G I'm right where you are. D Stay. (solo over verse) (repeat Chorus)
