Tuning: Standard

   Every chord chart I've found on the internet for this song is incorrect
and fails to include all the Aaug, F#m/C#, Am6 and B7 chords. 
This chart finally includes ALL the right chords that the others are missing. 
There is a chord chart at the bottom with fingering suggestions.

[INTRO]
D                     Bm/F#
If you ever leave me, I'll be sad and blue 
F#m                      Em                  A
Don't you ever leave me, I'm so in love with you  


[VERSE 1]
    D            F#m/C#      Bm    (piano often plays Bm7 in verses)
The birds in the sky would be  sad and lonely 
        D         F#m/C#   Bm
If they knew that I lost my  one and only 
          G              Aaug   D   D/F#   C#  A7 (see chord suggestions below)
They'd be sad, if you're bad to me 


[VERSE 2]
    D             F#m/C#        Bm
The leaves on the trees would be  softly sighin' 
    D                  F#m/C#         Bm
If they heard from the breeze that you  left me cryin' 
          G             Aaug   D  
They'd be sad, don't be bad to me 


[BRIDGE 1]
      G                                A
But I know you won't leave me 'cos you told me so 
    F#m                  B7
And I've no intention of letting you go 
Em                  A7               D/F#     F7     Em  Aaug
Just as long as you let me know, you won't be bad to me 


[VERSE 3]
        D           F#m/C#        Bm
So the birds in the sky won't be  sad and lonely 
             D        F#m/C#     Bm
'cause they know that I've got my  one and only 
            G               Aaug   D   
They'll be glad, you're not bad to me
