[Verse 1]
G    D Em     C          D
Now, o now, I needs must part

G       C      G D  G   D
Parting though I absent mourn

G       Em     C     D
Absence can no joy impart

G        C       G   D G
Joy once fled cannot return

G     D Em     C          D
While I live I needs must love

G          C   G    D    G  D
Love lives not when hope is gone

G   D  Em      C         D
Now at last despair doth prove

G      C     G   D  G
Love divided loveth none
[Chorus]
C                G
Sad despair doth drive me hence

Am           F A   E    A
This despair unkindness sends

G  D    Em      C    D
If that parting be offence

G     C         G    D  G
It is she which then offends
[Verse 2]
G     D    Em     C       D
Dear, when I from thee am gone

G        C   G  D    G  D
Gone are all my joys at once

G       Em       C     D
I loved thee and thee alone

G        C      G  D  G
In whose love I joyed once

G   D Em          C       D
And although your sight I leave

G          C  G  D    G  D
Sight wherein my joys do lie

G         Em       C       D
Till that death do sense bereave

G      C      G  D    G
Never shall affection die
[Chorus]
C                G
Sad despair doth drive me hence

Am           F A   E    A
This despair unkindness sends

G  D    Em      C    D
If that parting be offence

G     C         G    D  G
It is she which then offends
[Verse 3]
G     D  Em   C     D
Dear, if I do not return

G        C G     D   G  D
Love and I shall die together

G      Em      C     D
For my absence never mourn

G        C          G  D  G
Whom you might have joyed ever

G    D  Em          C     D
Part we must though now I die

G     C  G  D    G    D
Die I do to part with you

G      Em        C        D
Him Despair doth cause to lie

G        C         G  D  G
Who both lived and dieth true
[Chorus]
C                G
Sad despair doth drive me hence

Am           F A   E    A
This despair unkindness sends

G  D    Em      C    D
If that parting be offence

G     C         G    D  G
It is she which then offends
